It doesn't affect his "survival" at all. Anyway, forgive me for turning this into another debate like the other blog. So I'll just shut up and say how I also envy you on the closeness of family. That I do agree with RLM - can we be friends? Not that close, but...anyway. Have a great time with your sister and please do let us know about the trip! I'm really curious about the deaf culture there! Happy holidays to everyone! lol RLM, you just won’t give up, will ya? :p

I kinda envy both of you for the brotherly-sisterly closeness and ability to travel overseas. Deaf Sri Lankans would appreciate your unique sibling relationship to show how special and beautiful yours is. I hope that Liz will not bring any replacements for your CI device. You need to learn how to survive without using the CI all the time. You probably have your own fate bringing you to Sri Lanka which could lead you to discontinute your CI use. Robert L.

Leaving a comment here mere hours before my take off to Sri Lanka. My suitcase's absolutely loaded. 1/4 of the contents is just my clothes. The rest is all YOURS. Your outlandish requests and demands have been diligently checked off. I'll make sure you won't forget it, little bro. BTW, you're getting some goodies as well from the States. How nice that I get to bring 'em. Including a little magnet that could... Can't wait. And oh, I checked my ticket---it says 3:00p. I checked the site where I booked my flight---it says 5:15p. I checked the airline website, it says 4:45p. I checked the e-mail reminder from the website I booked my ticket from where it says 3:15. So, be sure to have your driver ready to roll btwn 3-5:15. But you'll get a buzz from me soon with more current flight information, natch. See you real soon! And folks, just mebbe, I may blog somethin' if Adam lets me. Hey Adam!
