Sure is great to be back in my own house. I have everyrthing that helps me set up here.
I have my relay on my computer to call places. I couldn’t do that at my parents house. When I say on here that “I called” someone, really mean that I used my relay service to call them. It’s slower, but it works.
Here at my house, I don’t have to communicate with anyone. Only Isaiah and Edward. Isaiah and I don’t only depend on talking. I do talk, so he can learn, but he shows me things in my hands and we have a lot of interaction with touch.
Edward is at work most of the time and now he is beginning to fingerspell a lot more. He and I are going to begin learning more ASL soon, and that will help a lot. Fingerspelling is great, especially when you have no clue what’s going on otherwise, but it does take a long time. If you can just sign the word instead of spelling it out, it’s much faster.
But I like my house. I don’t like thefact of being so far away from my parents, but maybe someday I’ll move back to Arkansas. I don’t know when though. I think I want to go to school here.
I don’t know if massage therapy is going to work out for me anymore. It may still, I’m looking into it, but I am trying to think of other careers I can do as a completely deaf-blind individual. Any ideas?
Hearing is terrible, and I don’t have a braille display hooked up to my computer yet. I want to work on editing my book that I’ve written, but I can’t read with Jaws anymore and it’s going to take me forever to read it in braille. I really hope that my speed picks up soon. I hate reading that slow, nbut at least I can still read.
I wanted to let everyone know that I am back home and doing as well as I can be right now in life. I’ve been thinking about some things and I will write about them in here after I toss them around in my head a little more. Until next time…
