    Doctors are still investigating how much of a percentage I am. I'm actually getting hearing aids fitted Friday so am praying these work, as the first lot didn't. How are you?

    I have central vision loss so lip reading can be difficult at times, I do ask people to talk slowly and clearly and face me when talking but some people don't listen, it's so frustrating!
