Cochlear Implant Programing

I just returned from having my cochlear implant programed. I am  now hearing better. I still have much to learn about it. I can now hear when I  leave my turn signal on. There was a collective cheer from the drivers in Elmira, NY when I heard that. I was thinking about not telling my family so I
can hear what they have been saying about me, but I am not sure I want to go through the hassle of changing my will every week.

I still have to get some more adjustments over the next three months. I am not sure if the VA will
let me have the other ear done. I need to find out if I will be able to hear on the telephone before I decide to continue to work. On the one hand, I would like to stay retired and focus on my writing, but on the other hand, I would like to
pay my bills. (I used to say; on the other hand, she wore a glove.)

I am
still working on my book about leadership. There are so many studies on
  leadership that it is hard to believe we have so many poor leaders in this
  country. I guess that our leaders do not read the books on leadership and the
  writers of those books do not become leaders.
