I am little P'O at the moment.....
I was having a nice meeting/get together with a friend of mine who happens to be my client at the local cafe. We were sitting there enjoying our latte's, muffins, catching up with each other, etc when this individual came up to us and started to sign.
At first we were a little miffed because we were having a private conversation as well as that we didn't know this particular individual.
Found out that he was hearing and......he was an audiologist.
This audiologist had the audacity to tell the both of us that we need to have a cochlear implant!
I said, "If it's so great, why don't you get one?"
He said, "Well I'm hearing and I know what's best for you."
My friend told him that we were not interested and to please leave us alone as we were having a meeting.
The audiologist stood there and started to tell us that by having an cochlear implant--our economics would be great, we would hear, speak better, etc.
I looked at him and said, "Do you know what we do for a living? First of all--I am a lawyer and my friend here is a MSW for a non-profit agency. Oh by the way--we get paid more than what an audiologist would make."
Well he didn't like that answer and proceeded to tell me that I was a dumbass and proceeded to throw water on me.
I then stood up and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the floor.
He then slowly looked up at me and said, "Oh shit!" lol
I then said in my loudest voice for the entire cafe to hear, "Now you listen to me you little MF! We said we're not interested, you're being rude, and if you don't leave immediately, we are going to kick your ass out of here. Do I make myself clear?"
I let him down and he turned away and ran out of the cafe.
I have never seen anyone run that fast!
I have been out of town for the past 2 days and right now I'm in Indiana visiting my grandmother at the hospital. So, I'm using my sister's laptop w/ the wifi connection. (To pass the time and kill the boredom while everyone's yakking - the usual hearing family thing)
Anyway, She's been battling ovarian cancer for a while. It has progressively became a lot worse. She also has acute kidney failure (both kidneys have shut down) and her potassium level is way too high. The doctors have been trying to stabilize her potassium level.
When I saw her yesterday, she was not looking very well. She in fact was weak and fragile.
So, this morning she had to start on the dialysis to get her kidneys to function. Unfortunately, the dialysis is not helping her at all.
Today, We all were called in to come in the hospital because she is expected to die any time today. When I walked in her room earlier today, she looked a lot worse than yesterday and it hurts so much to see her like that way.
Everyone else are here too as well and been taking turns spending time with her. I have spent some time with her, holding her hand and things like that.
We all expected this to happen but yeah, she will be better off in peace with no more suffering and all that. But, still - Just thinking about it makes me so sad and there's no dry eyes at all.
Well, I'm gonna get going but just wanted to let you guys know what has been happening with me.
