I didn't see anything of yours offensive, dreamchaser so enjoy posting on AD.![]()
Thanks guys. I realize that I ask some silly questions sometimes and you must get tired of respondidn to a million questions of the same nature.
Ya see, I have hepatitis C, which I contracted during one of my 8 cesareans and child birth transfusions. I already had the treatments, and they won't usually let you do it twice. It stayed in remission for a while, but when my husband died, i lost my insurance, and didn't qualify for state medical,, so I just kind of let it flow.. If they did let me take the treatments again, it would cost 2,500 dollars a month for the meds, and that usually only puts it back into remission for a little wile longer.
If I make it through school, and if I can work with Deaf righs organization, that will be cool. But, that would only be a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed. Sometimes I think what is needed is a big mouth ole granny that will tell the hearing community what is really up, and light a fire under their buts. I don't know,, but that is why I ask so many questions,, so I will really understand the problems and what can be done.
Anyway, I get tired really easy, and sick really easy now,, and I just want to accomplish all I can for as long as I can to help protect our next generation of Deaf people, especially kids, from enduring the crap that the hearing people do out of ignorance and indiffernce. I thank you all for your information and help. If I can pinpoint the real problems, and find out what might be some good solutions, then maybe I can inspire other hearing people to take up where I leave off.
Geez...u have been through tough times but yet, u still kept your positive attitude and still care for others.
No, none of your posts offended me. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.
I hope u feel better and recover soon!!!![]()
Thanks Shel,,, but you don't recover from Hep C.. IT is deadly.the question is, what can I accomplish with the time I gots left? Throughout my life, I have made a few little splashes and the ripples have grown into bigger things,,, Like I once started a homeless ministry out of nothing,, and I fought to get minimum wage raised in Oregon,, and it worked.. but I have only started to make the ripple to protect Deaf rights. I just feel like God has put it into my heart to actually plant some seeds. I may not see them grow up,, but dang,,, It has to start somewhere,,, United we stand,, But you have to unite,, and then stand,, and know what you are trying to change,, .. And there are ways to do it.
REMEMBER THE DEAF PRESIDENT NOW MOVEMENT! Someone has to get pissed off enough and put their voice out there long enough and smart enough,, with enough backing,,, and they can't ignore it forever. The Deaf community, with their families and friends that are hearing, are a big voting block.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't despair. Get a new doctor. At least half of people treated for 6 months with a therapy of interferon and ribavirin in combination are cured of Hepatitis C. And there are further treatments if that doesn't work.
your dreaming?
