Can You Hear Me Now? Good.

Can You Hear Me Now?"So, what have you been doing?"

My 81-year-old mother-in-law had called to talk to Doug, who wasn't home, so we chatted for a few minutes. It's not easy talking to her over the phone, since she's deaf and I can't hear.

"I'm actually working on a deadline," I announced, in my loudest and clearest voice. "I'm editing a novel."

"Oh....." she said. "You're going to be a model...."

The poor woman. First deaf, now completely blind.

"I wish you luck, dear!"

Supportive, though, isn't she?

  1. My mother recently got tested and found out that she really needed the hearing aid that we'd all been suggesting for years.

  2. Chris--Your lives will be so much easier if she can use it! My MIL wears hers, but she seems to have a problem on the phone in spite of them. I hear perfectly in one ear, but am totally deaf in the other due to brain surgery. Sometimes, I pick up the phone to the wrong ear and tell my husband it was a hang-up call....I'm the one with the hang-ups!!
