Thanks, will do.
I am thinking about my doctors appointment coming up. This is the specialist and he walks in the room and goes directly to my hubby. Totally ignoring me. Then he pats the table twice for me to sit downl I am not a dog. When he walked out of the room I said something to hubby and apparently was not quiet. Need to come up with something clever for this appointment. I want to say"I am deaf not stupid you ignorant bastard" is that too much. Hahaha
I can relate!...(many instances)....You are an adult. (at least I hope so )....Many times, people have looked/talked to my son(s), when they should be talking/typing/writing to me if there is a misunderstanding....so...matter of factly I have said..."MY son is the child, I am the adult...you talk/type/write to me."...
It really pisses me off, but sometimes there is no intrepretor (and I requested one today, but no show)...some people are very hard to lip read, as today, I had that problem.
Next time the doctor does this, I would say..."hey! You forgot to whistle"....(when he pats the table twice for you to sit down)....But, could be, that he didn't mean to be rude.....still, I see that you are now realizing how we deafies feel....*sigh*....gear up, Angel!....got a lonnnnnng road ahead.
I'm still alive if anyone cares.
I'm making my big cross country trip exactly next week alone.
I should make it to California on the 25th and hopefully there'll be a home for me.
Seems that everything goes wrong for me no matter how hard I try.
I care. Where have you been?
Lanapoo, any time you want to meet I will be there. Yuba City is a little far but I am sure I can make it. I have been waiting to meet youl Please drive safe. Once your settled let me know, ok? Lets do lunch
Okay hun, how about a week or two after I settle in, we'll have a lunch? Rocklin is about the same distance as Yuba City is... Really. I know you're in one of those towns, but I'm in a small town! Rocklin, maybe? I also have a HoH friend who lives there. We can set up a lunch date with you, her, and me. And I'll be working in Colorado this summer.
Sounds great. Yes Rocklin. Remember I know very little ASL so I hope thats OK?
Oh, that's fine... Not a problem. Just keep an open mind.
My mind is so opened you can feel the wind blow out my ears
Hey Lanapoo,
Was wondering yesterday how you've been.
Have a safe drive to CA! Hope things will improve once you get there.
I most certainly will!! Be ready to learn quite a few dirty signs!
