The Fall @ Su Casa. What really happened

GpaK's version:



Carol's version (his caregiver):

Peace at last . . .?

GpaK has a hearing problem.  Confirmed but labeled "a slight hearing loss" by a professional who does not have to watch television w/ GpaK. Today GpaK and I, out and about on our Saturday shopping and errands (after the awesome shower . . . see August 30 post for the details on that :) stopped at Best Buy.  We had to bring in GpaK's computer because it's been acting up.  (Side story:  after several attempts by Joe to fix the computer, we conceded last week that it needed to be taken in for repairs.  "Where?" GpaK asked.  "Best Buy does a good job" I replied.  "Well alright but how the hell am I going to get THERE?"  GpaK sincerely asked.  "You could take a cab?" I offered.  "Oh alright alright.  forget it."  I got the silent treatment for a good 30 minutes after that (score!)

Anywho, one of the bains of my existence is the volume at which GpaK watches television.  This morning I wanted to read a little upstairs in my bedroom.   GpaK started watching television and I could hear every word of his program.  Upstairs. 

So, at Best Buy I suggested that we look at the wireless headsets for use with televisions.  If these things work as well as I think they will, it will be the best $120 GpaK has ever spent :)  Stay tuned.

Downside:  the transmitter/charger is ugly and has to be connected at the cable box.  Not attractive.  If they work it will be sooooo worth it.
