Big Daddy Has Found Help

Big Daddy can hear.

I’m so glad about this I could just scream. I love my father and for years, his hearing has  diminished to the point we had adjusted our volume control to a loud yell so he could hear us. I don’t know why this has happened but it did, and Homer and I’s hearts were broken because we wanted him to experience each of the senses of this world that are so beautiful and wonderful.

As a man who loves music more than he loves anything else, you have no idea how great this is. He’s tried several times to use electronic help for his hearing but it was either painful or just didn’t work.

He found a cool beans device and now, BAM, he is hearing again.

I’m so proud and happy I just can’t breathe. I saw it over the weekend, and it’s sexy and discreet and I think he will be happy.

I’ve thought about this all week and wanted to weep. He can now hear his music (Don McClean’s American Pie. He loves it. And So many others, but that is the one I know he loves.)

Woot.  A big ass Woot.

    1. Woo-hoo to the nth degree! Yay, Big Daddy! Yay for all of y’all!

    2. Can you reveal what sort of system he uses? (If he doesn’t mind.) We are at our wits’ end trying to get my mother to look into this.

    Grandfille, I will find out where he got it and send the information to you. Is your e-mail address on your site?
    Thanks, Slartibartfast.
    We really are all very excited about this.

    No ma’am. I’ll e-mail you. You are the bestest. But you knew that.

  5. newscoma says:

    I got the e-mail and sent you the info, dawling.

    Somehow I just can’t NOT imagine you in a gauzy Blance Devereaux dress, reading this post aloud in her thick Joe-ja accent. If I recall, she called her father Big Daddy too.

    Regardless, I’m happy for you and for Big Daddy! Good news!

  7. newscoma says:

    Well, that’s sort of where I got it from :)

    Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. I knew I liked you.

    If you’re Blanche, I’ll be Dorothy, even though I wish I had the you-know-whats to be Sophia. Alas, you can’t change who you are, and I’m a Zbornak all the way.

    Hee.

    One of the doctors I worked for for many years and was like family to me, we had the same problem as he grew older. He was also VERY involved with Opera Memphis so I know that had to be the most frustrating thing for him of all. It was SUCH a relief when he finally got the help he needed. I wish the same peace and happiness for your Big Daddy.
