yes, it's amazing how far we've come in terms of technology (and even awareness!) when it comes to the blind, deafblind, deaf and hoh. :)

:ty: for your kind comments! i've enjoyed reading your posts as well! :D
 
I am sorry about you have an allergic. I have only one allergy is sulpha. I am not sure spell this. Do you have an asthma?

How long have you been migraine?

How long have you been depress?

When you're became deaf/blind it make you emotion, angry and depress?

Do you accept that you're deaf/blind?
 
Hope I am not re-asking any questions.

What kind of clothing do you prefer.

Like cotton t-shirts and jeans?

Long skirts and button down shirts?

Sweatsuits?

Flowing dresses?

In other words, what is your style?

1. i don't have asthma, but i do have year round allergies that trigger coughing spells.

2. i've had migraines since i was 17 (1987).

3. i started suffering from depression in the early 90s. my tdoc thinks i may have been bipolar at that time since i was showing many symptoms of the illness, but didn't realize it because i didn't know what bipolar was. from what i understand, many people with bipolar go undiagnosed for about 10 years before they are accurately diagnosed. my "official" diagnosis of bipolar came in 2006 after i was hospitalized for a severe manic/psychotic episode. i accept my diagnosis and am not ashamed about the fact that i have bipolar.

4. after i lost my hearing, i was *very* upset, angry and depressed. i had an extremely difficult time dealing with my emotions and coming to terms with the loss -- so much so that the director of the deafblind center felt as if she were walking on eggshells every time she talked to me. it wasn't until i began learning alternative communication techniques and meeting other deafblind people like myself that i began to understand i could live a happy, successful life despite deafblindness.

5. yes, i accept my deafblindness 100%. although it took me a very long time to reach this point, i now know that deafblindness isn't something to be ashamed of and deafblind people can do anything they want to if they work hard enough to achieve their dreams. even though i have ci's, it doesn't change how i feel about my deafblindness. after all, with or without my ci's, i am still deafblind.

Like cotton t-shirts and jeans? i prefer wearing t-shirts and jeans on the weekend when i feel too lazy to do anything. :giggle:

Long skirts and button down shirts? i like wearing long skirts and button down shirts for special occaisions and work settings, but i don't wear them on days when i have nowhere to go. there's no sense in dressing up when i'm not going anywhere and people won't see me anyways. :giggle: i don't care for long skirts in the winter because i get cold very easily, so i mainly wear them in the spring, summer and fall.

Sweatsuits? i like wearing sweatsuits when i have a "lazy weekend" or don't have any plans for the day. i don't like to wear them in public because they make me feel sloppy and unkempt.

Flowing dresses? i love wearing flowing dresses in the spring and summer months. i also like wearing them for special occaisions and work settings. one thing i love about flowing dresses is how they are one-piece so i don't have to match my clothes. :giggle: they are also more comfortable than long skirts and blouses.

In other words, what is your style? 99% of the time (except on days when i don't leave the house) i wear dress pants, a blouse/button down shirt and a blazer. i also like to wear pantsuits since they do not require color matching, are comfortable to wear and make a woman look nice and professional. i like to wear plenty of jewelry and a small amount of make-up. in terms of make-up, the only thing i don't like to wear is eyeliner and eye shadow. my eyes are very sensitive and i hate the feeling of having something on or around my eyes. another style of clothing i like to wear often (in the fall and winter) are dress pants and sweaters. i like my clothes to be roomy. i can't stand it when my clothes are tight, itch or cause me discomfort. they need to feel comfortable and not restrict my movement in any way. when buying clothes, i also pay attention to their texture. i like to pick out clothes that have distinctive tactual features to them (i.e. uniquely shaped buttons, fabric that feels nice to the touch and not "rough" or "cheap," etc.). i also like to select clothes that are neutral in color so i don't have to worry about mismatching them.

I wonder, why do you use "i" when you finish the quotes ? Is there a meaning for it?

because she answered the question INSIDE the quote box. AD won't let you submit anything if you don't type a reply so she just picked a random character which is "i"
 
any other questions? i'm wired right now, so my answers should be interesting. :giggle:

i'm glad you're okay, sosie. after you see the doctor, let me know what he says, okay? i'm concerned. <hugs>

yes. definitely let your consumers know about checking for restaurant menus online. that's what i do and it works extremely well for me because i can download the information onto my braillenote and read the menu while i'm in the restaurant.

Hear Again, I apologize for not getting back to you any sooner. I was sleeping, sleeping, sleeping almost all day for the last two days because I was SO dead tired, no energy. Also, it affects my moods because of the menstrual cycle. (Soon..) No fun. UGH... Now, I feel better, but not 100% better.

OK, I will let you know what my PCP says.

OK, I will tell them when I feel 100% better. Thanks for your advice. I remember, one of my former consumers uses CCTV, to read the menu (and also, uses Zoomtext magnifer/reader for his computer). What a wonderful technology?!!! :)

yes -- please do keep me updated as to how you are feeling. i hope you feel better soon. :hug:

as for myself, i'm afraid i'm not doing so well. :( i woke up last night with a dry, hacking cough and my throat is raw and sore from all of the sneezing -- not to mention the dry cough.

yes, zoomtext and cctv's are wonderful pieces of technology! :)
 
OK, I need to read the whole thread before I ask any more, but...

Hear Again, what is your favourite month? And, why?

actually, i have 3 favorite months: may, june and september.

i love may because it's the beginning of spring when you start to hear the birds sing, the weather starts to warm up and flowers start to bloom.

i also love june because it's the start of summer when temperatures are in the 70s -- not too hot but warm enough to do any activity outside. i love going for walks and it is during the month of june that i do most of my walking (approximately 2-3 hours/day). june is also the time when my family has alot of cookouts which i really enjoy.

september is one of my favorite months because it's when the weather starts to cool off and you start to experience some relief after a long, hot summer.
