Thanks, Kim!! I’m so thankful I’ve learned to “play on” in life. I’ve known others with hearing loss who choose, instead, to avoid all situations in life where not hearing might embarrass them. I will admit that I’ve had my own down times when I’ve considered isolation, but I know it is no solution. Life is just too grand to miss, and I hope to play on until I skid into the hereafter!! LOL

I love this line, “If I’ve learned anything at all from years of attending my children’s piano recitals, if you hit a wrong note don’t bring attention to it by making a big deal of it. Just play on as if it was the right note all along. I remained seated.” So true. Sounds like you handled it with grace. If I had been there, I wouldn’t have thought much of it. I might have thought perhaps you had trouble walking and standing.
