English take off

Know what?  I have been learning English when I was a kid and great at it.   Counutine on till move to another state and learn different.

Know why?  Okay, let’s see, I used the SEE and Total Communication at class.  I was in a higher class in deaf education.   When I moved to another state and went to school with hearing classes.  I have picked ASL and kind of lost my English level to 4th grade. 

So, I write a lot of things and people in the sense of humor or maybe no sense at all. 

Let’s show the example.   In ASL language, I am going to write here.   “You me go store.”   In the English language, I am going to write here.    “You and me going to the store.”

I kept reading and writing in the right place.  Sometimes, forget correction.

I met a few friends speak ASL in writing and sometimes do not make any sense.  They sign and write the same as it is. 

Most of the time, deaf writing can do English well.

Patience with me

The reason why I said that.  It hits me little and does not realize it is actually true.

You know many times we deaf tends had issues on waiting by writing or typing and lot of people has been impatient with us.  We always wish we could speak without using typing or writing because it requires a lot of time to make communication.  Sign language is our accessible communication.

One day, I was working, and Hispanic guy came to me.  He starts to type in his Spanish language to my English language.   At the same time, I was so exhausted and used my big sigh.   He looked at me and said, “Sorry”.  I was surprised that he is in the same situation as deaf issues.  He used his Spanish language in text into English language text for me to read.

Dobutamine Echo

Sorry if I write too long. 

I have been seeing heart doctor since I started FTM (female to male) in 2008 and very concerned about it.  My family has heart disease, so I need to know.  I counutine with it till 2015, and I decided to stopped testosterone.  The doctor said the heart was getting worse. 

I had heart murmur for years. 

I took T off and watched it til I moved to Alabama to live with my parents in 2019.   The new heart doctor said, “You need to be fixed.”   I told him I had no problem with it.  He keeps an eye on it.

Finally, he told me to go to the hospital to test with the Dobutamine Echo.   I went to the hospital on December 12, 2024.  I wore wrong clothes and fainted in blood lab!  I was carried on wheelchair to Cath Lab and lay on bed.  I was okay but very aware of it.   

Get my blood work there and had a couple of tests from ultrasound on heart.  Rhythm and exercise.  The nurse called my heart doctor and checked on ultrasound.  He said, “Get ready for tube.”  I told him I couldn’t shallow the tube because it was too big for my throat.  He tested it, and it is impossible to get inside.   I told him he should get GI to do it.

I have rescheduled for that.  Now, I am going to go through again. 

If not working, I have to make a setup for surgery!  Open heart surgery.  Sigh!

Talk Back

I know it sounds rude, but fact because of deafness.  We all have feelings emotionally to be corrected by other people.  We don’t know what they say and all point to us, could be angry or misunderstood what they says.  Many times,  we talk back in our sign language instead of voice because they use their voices, so we use the sign language.  Either would understand the comments of each other.  They would laugh at us for no reason.   Talk back to them in expression.

Rude thing to say but facts.

Their faulty or me?

I just watch my friend who preach this morning.  He said, worker work hard and can’t make any promoted. Other worker take their time, becoming promoted. 

Why worker work hard to earn their credit while worker do nothing?

Few times, I could remember that when I was teached by teamwork and work hard.  I also felt they used me for do their work tasks which take of advantage for them being successful.   I have experience seen those situations so I stopped do it.

The worker blamed me for not doing their job tasks, which is not my duty.  They gave reports to the manager or supervisor on my action as bad responses.  Who is highly faulty?  Them or me?

Your comment….

So many things on the list.

I have write list to write about and never chance write here at all!

Roll my eyes. 

Most of the list are just knowledge about baseball, religious and cultural.  Both in write and ASL.

A million?

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

I am joking with you!  If it is worth a million, then I need retirement money!  Lol.  A billion is too much for me to go there. 

Okay, if there is mothership, then can join the space journey.

Know it is a short answer. ~DW

Impossible

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

I would love to take my lazy days and actually impossible!

Each time, I took it and had some interrupt my times and days.  I forwarded it to take it easy, maybe on the island!   Just my fantasy thinks.

One time, I took on cruise and hope it will give me some good rest and guess what I don’t have that chance.   Oh well, the cruise has 24/7 all the time like Las Vegas!  Lol.

When it comes and I would make sure no disturb so can take good time and peace. 

Winks. ~DW

My voice

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I just lost my voice!  Don’t know why I turned my voice off.   I knew I had voice least before I was in transition to be Felmale to Male.  Now, I am a biological female and forget how to use the voice.  Shoot! 

I need practice to use the voice again.  Hey, don’t forget I am Deaf…..  help me!  I need it so badly. 

I used the voice all the time with signing language and now lost.
