I just got the long awaited letter from the CI-team at Rikshospitalet! YES! 
Finally!
(read on below 
)
The long wait is over, and I can now start to look forward to the beginning of the process of becoming a candidate for CI! (sounds like I’m running for the presidency, and in many ways it feels that way too! THIS IS BIG!)
Phase one of the pre-screening, pre-qualification process starts april 28. THIS YEAR! 
Then followed by phase 2, which in turn should end up in me being qualified for the procedure AND A NEW CHANCE TO HEAR AGAIN!
I have to tell you, I started crying when I realized what the letter said… It was a good cry!!! I’m so happy it just happened to be a day when my girlfriend was with me. It was a day to remember, indeed! Thank you, my dear, for being with me and sharing that mammoth moment with me!!!
I love you, my love!
I needed to share this with the world today!
I want to thank everybody who is reading my blog for all the support, comments, insights and INSPIRATION you provide me! Abby, Jennifer, Jeff, Sam, Roberta, Arnt, and many, many others, you know who you are!
And to everybody close to me in my everyday life, thank you for being patient with me and supporting me throug this!
Since 2006 I’ve known this day would come, but I still can’t quite comprehend it. I’m in a mild state of shock, I guess
