Bright Arms Raised Against the Sky

Queen of Barbados ~~ Pride of Barbados ~~ Poinciana ~~ Bird of Paradise

 

This beautiful Poinciana plant, whose flower clusters on tall stalks are in varying stages of living and dying, is in the Garden of The University Of Arizona Medical Center (UAMC).

 

I was there last week for a CT Scan, as one of the required steps to ensure that I really am a viable candidate for a cochlear implant in my right ear...

 

Update as of February 24th, 2014: During a series of Audiology Lab assessments it became clear that hearing aids could help me to hear better. And, hearing aids do not involve a surgical procedure. That was a viable option, and I went to Costco for a new top of the line set. They have been very effective in improving my quality of life...;))
