Hippi
Yeah coloring, my fav fall back when I'm locked up, takes me to a much more pleasent time. Do you have difficulties getting interpreters for services? I always feel like its such an up hill battle and sometimes I just give up. I don't talk it I can't understand and I don't take pills becouse I don't know what they are...of course that leads to other problems. But man it gets very exhasting to explain time after time, yes I can talk, but that doesn't mean I can hear, and no lip reading is not a replacement for terps! I've been told Dr's have an education and they need at least an average IQ to get though medical school, but I question that sometimes.
Good luck on your journing and thanks for the acknowledgment, tis nice to know theres others out there fighting the same battle of ignorant healthcare workers.
