CI Implant Story
by Rich Diedrichsen
My best story is this: I'd had my Implant for about 8 months and was gaining confidence with it. I was home alone when the phone rang so I looked at the caller ID and realized it was my oldest daughter calling.
I picked it up and said "Hi Bobbie."
She responded by saying "Doug?" (that is my son).
"No this is dad."
Then there was "Dad?" followed by a very long pause.
"Bobbie, are you there?"
"Um, is mom home?"
"No you will have to call her on her cell."
"This is dad?!!"
The reality is, in 26 years my daughter had never talked to me on the phone except through relay or with mom interpreting the call.
