One Plus One

I just put two things together. I've always known that I was born early and that I had low blood sugar, but for some reason hearing it again tonight while talking to my dad about it in terms of my hearing and genetics and nature vs. nurture and my family, etc. Premature and Hypoglycemia = My Hearing loss? It was finally confirmed that my mother was NOT drinking when she was pregnant with me. So that leads me to the hypoglycemia when I was a newborn. A lot of articles are pointing that it causes brain damage but better tests need to be done. Could that be it? I don't know, but it is a possibility. I could of been a healthy baby til I came out and met the world. It's an interesting thought; especially the possibility that in the womb I may not have been wired that way whereas I was thinking that was just how it was all this time. I'm not, by all means, trying to find something to point the finger at, but simply curiosity makes me wonder how it came about. I still, to this day, wouldn't change my hearing for the world. I don't want to surgically change it now, why would I wish that I was born with perfect hearing. The fact is, I don't want to be any different than I am now. This is who I am and I'm damn proud of it! Like anyone, it is interesting to wonder how my life would be had this not happened to me. In my mind state in this life path I think, I wouldn't be as cool as I am now ;)
