I feel more and more comfortable at aqua fitness classes. This morning the instructor asked me how to sign good morning. So more and more of the ladies know I’m deaf. To me that’s a good thing. It means if I don’t see them talking they know I’m not ignoring them but not hearing them. The thing about being deaf is that like MI it’s largely an invisible disability. And people who don’t know I’m deaf think I’m being rude and ignoring them. Can’t begin to count the number of times someone formed bad thoughts about me because I didn’t hear them then if/when they found out they were embarrassed. I’ve found it best to be upfront. But the aqua fitness classes are a bunch of nice people. This is week three and despite eating the same, going to classes 4-5 days a week I’ve lost not an once! !! But today I did notice that I’m getting more flexible!
