Yeah, using VRI seems like it could be very frustrating. Do the doctor's office get mad that they have to pay for the interpreter? or do they think the patient should pay? I mean like would they not want to have a deaf patient because it's extra work and they need pay?

I am not sure if I should go alone or not now. I am anxious as it is but now I'm beginning to think it is not such a good idea. I'll talk with my mom about it. I just wanted to be independent and do for myself. What is VRI?

I haven’t thought about my eyes being dialated. How long before your eyes go back to normal?

I’m going for an eye exam next week by myself. Normally my mom or dad would go with me but they are working. I’m going to use my phone and see how it goes. I think I can do this alone. I need to start doing things alone and get comfortable with my hearing loss as I interact with hearing people...

This is how I am too. I have the doctor write or type things for me. I've never used an interpreter. I don't even know how to ask for one. Does the doctor's office provide one or would I need to find one? I think in the future I might be inclined to use one once I'm less anxious. When you...

The church has 5 different mass times. Yes it is large. I thought for sure they would have an interpreter and I just didn’t know. Yeah it might be hard to get a copy of the sermon. I’ll keep praying about this.

I did e-mail the church near my house and asked about deaf ministries. I asked too if they didn't have anything could I get a copy of the sermon or if they knew of a church that had services. I didn't get a reply. I might have e-mail again or call.

Praying for all those people in FL and GA after hurricane.

My local catholic church doesn't have an interpreter so I was e-mailing some other churches to see if they had an interpreter set up already. I just got that one response back. The other churches didn't respond to my e-mail. I do know of a church that has an interpreter but it is about 45...

You are right AlleyCat. I am not fluent in ASL yet. I am learning though. I'm trying to figure out how I am going to move forward in my life. I don't know where I belong or what I am doing. But I'm going to explore all my options. For two years I felt sorry for myself and I'm sick of feeling...

Thanks. Will do.

I sent an e-mail to a church that I am thinking of going to and asked if they had any interpreters for the deaf. Here is the response that I got. We currently do not but if you can assist us in getting the information with interpreters I think that would be great! With Love in the Lord, +Rev...

Can you request a male or female interpreter?

I’m curious do use an interpreter, write or text when going to dr. or bank or something private? I can see using an interpreter at church and school something public with lots of people, info for all to see but not sure about one on one personal stuff. The interpreter is a stranger and not sure...

Spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread.

I've learned that I am a true introvert and it is ok.

I was going to write something else here but once I read your post I realize how that I am truly blessed. Thanks.

I haven't tried dating sites either. I've only had one serious girlfriend and that was back in high school. I'm in no rush.

Yes, not even sure where I'd meet someone since I don't work or go to college. How does one meet someone today? Is everything done through social media now?

Taking my vitamins and going to bed.
