I was being since. I have NEVER EVER had a terp for a doctors apointment. Their was a recent meeting about me that had me in attendance and I didn't have a terp for that either. Dad was expected to do it but he never interprets word for word so I missed a lot of it. Very disapointing but I hope I get a terp eventually.
The reason I mention doing without a terp is not because I don't think Lucia needs one. It's because It sounds like she really needs to see a doctor more.
Yes, ideally terps are great but we don't live in an ideal world. It seems to me a bit silly not to see the doctor until the ideal terp is found. She should go as soon as possible with or without one.
It has NOTHING to do with a CI. I would give her exactly the same advice if she didn't have one.
I have offered to see the doctors w/o an interpreter using paper and pen after the 2nd time they cancelled on me but they are still refusing to see me, even refusing to set up a new appointment for me, so it's no use. They just can't be bothered to shell out the money for an interpreter and they also can't even be bothered to even see me at all. It isn't fair. It's like I'm a waste of space and time to them sometimes. They truly don't care.
