About Me
- Beautiful Disaster
- This blog is the story of my new life: Being a single mom, working full time, going to school, trying to make ends meet, and dealing with the hurt and anger from the events that have put me in this position. I have made it thru the first year of being a single mom, and am going to blog out year two every day. I LOVE being a mom. It is the most important thing in the world to me. My son is what i live for, my reason for getting out of bed every day and carrying on with the daily struggle of life

And another one!
OK. I don't think i have mentioned in my previous postings that my son is deaf. He wears a cochlear implant to help him hear, which when it is working is just amazing. Unfortunately it has not been working for some time now. After sending several items back to Med-El, the company that makes his implant, i was told that it was moisture damaged and they asked if he sweat a lot, hello we live in Arizona and its been over 110 degrees outside for a while now of course he sweats. See the implant is worn around the outside of his ear like a behind the ear hearing aid. Now I'm no expert, but wouldn't you think that if someone was making a hearing device that is worn this way, right behind the ear, that they would maybe make sure they could moisture proof it some way? give me a break!!! We have no insurance and to take him in would cost me $100 per visit. It may as well be $1,000 to me right now i can barely pay rent and all my other monthly expenses. Here he is about to start kindergarten in less than a month and I'm getting the run around. I'm so frustrated right now with this and everything else going wrong in my life I'm about to totally loose it!! I'm just so thankful for this blog right now. Being able to blog about all this and get it off my chest is such a stress relief! Like i have someone to talk to about everything, and i don't get judged or told what i need to do. I'm so tired of hearing what i need to do from everyone. I know that it is coming to me with good intentions, but its just so amazing to be able to put it all out there and not have to hear anything back about it. Not that i don't welcome comments from my followers or people that actually read these, if there really are any, but i feel like everyone in my life feels that they need to tell me what to do. Sometimes its just nice to have someone listen.
