No BIG Check

No!! I didn't win BIG in Vegas. I swannie!!! That always seems to happen. However, we actually came out ahead!! So, in Vegas terms, that is a win!!! We had a ball. Did the usual things, saw the sights, took in 2 shows. We saw KA, which is one of the Cirque Du Soliel shows out in Vegas. Of course it was fabulous!! We have seen three of their shows so far and I'm telling you......you can't go wrong with any one of them!! However, Mystere is still my most favoritest of all!!! When we checked in at the hotel, we were given a coupon for free tickets for a new show at Planet Hollywood. We got to see Stomp Out Loud. We had great tickets and it was a really good show!! WooHoo!! I looooove freebies!!

I ended up not using my Vegas program on my processor. I tried switching it over a couple of times, but it cut out too much of the sound. Everything was real small and tiny. I couldn't hear much of anything. I was just fine with my regular program. Nothing was really loud. I started noticing while we were in Vegas, and have noticed since then, that when things are REALLY loud, my processor seems to cut out a lot of the sound. I'll have to talk to Meg about that.

We went to the Toyota Perfect Attendance party last weekend and there were 2 concerts. One was very loud. However, I didn't hear a whole lot with the implant. So, I'm not sure what is happening.

Yesterday I switched over to the "slow" program that Meg wants me to try. I've not been able to tell any kind of big difference so far. However, she said I needed to give it several days before I really started comparing. The brain has to get used to a different program. So, we shall see.

Things are continuing to progress. No big changes, but I can tell that things are better. I can pick up what people are saying a lot easier and sometimes I feel like I am so close to truly being able to hear and understand them! I can also pick up some things that Keegan is saying. We were over at Mom's for dinner the other night and I was able to decipher a lot of what she was jabbering on about. Believe me, she jabbers on a whole lot!! That girl has a lot to say!!! Romy is still very screechy, but I know when she's talking!

Let me see if I can find some of our Vegas pictures!!


They are still working on Planet Hollywood. They've only got this end done.

A white tiger at the Mirage. Love that boy!

We ate lunch one day at a french restaurant at Paris that had some outside seating. Our lunch was FABULOUS!! We could also see the Bellagio fountains across the street when they were doing a show. Wonderful place to sit!

This is on the other side of the street.......in front of the fountains looking back through the trees to Paris and the restaurant where we had lunch.

SpongeBob does Vegas!!!

The mist!! Getting ready for a show. I think this was for the theme from Titanic.

More fountains.

The check-in lobby at the Bellagio. I LOVE those pink hangie down things!!! The Bellagio has the most beautiful floral arrangements.

These are all from the conservatory in Bellagio. As you can tell, the Bellagio fountains and conservatory are my favoritest places in Vegas! Just absolutely beautiful and amazing!!!

The glass building was set up like a potting shed and was full of butterflies!
