Gab the Gab!! (Travel fund before silence)

I want to start with how awesome my support group is; Id be lost without your endless support and random messages of hope and strength in the dead of night, when it's needed most.  A couple weeks back, i had an appt with my Neurosurgeon to discuss results of an MRI I had taken prior. I was quickly thrown into shock when he informed us that I needed a procedure that would ultimately take my hearing. This campaign is to raise funds for me to travel before that happens. I want to hear as many voices as possible before I lose that ability. I have some time since they have to form a special team- including an otolaryngologist-ENT who can place an implant in the brain stem so I shoulddddd  be able to hear things like a door bell ringing but not peoping. ALL MONIES WILL GO TOWARDS ASL CLASSES, UNFORESEEN MEDICAL EXPENSES AND TRAVEL. I would love to travel the world tole speak see everyone but there's no time. So the plan is a trip to the northwest(WA, OR) and prolly the Midwest but maybe some where crazy like new york! I'm honestly terrified of this one, y'all. But losing control of my face muscles and being wheel chair bound sound even worse. I just want to see the faces of those I love most before I go under again. I won't be coming out the same this time.
