AB Headquarters Again!
I was invited to go back to AB's HQ for Chapter Leader Training! It was a great training session, got great ideas for my upcoming support groups! I can't wait to try out new ideas.
Finally got to meet a guy I've heard so much about in the AB world, Sam. He made me feel right at home in Valencia. And gave me some great laughs!
I was the ONLY person there with one implant. Everyone was bilateral but I told em all that I was going to be bilateral in two weeks... can you believe it.. two more weeks to go!
I met a fellow named Stu, he does the AB BEA for the UK side. I was able to understand his british accent since I grew up with a few UK friends. And he has one implant himself and I asked him why not two? He said that UK doesn't approve bilateral implants for adults like the US does. Thats a bummer.
The worst part, I had to leave on my birthday! Needed to fly back home for an information booth in Virginia the very next day. I was hoping to get special treatment from the airline since it was my birthday.... no one noticed :(
Here are some photos from the visit!
