My new way: The pointing strategy

It took me a bit of time to discover this strategy but I think that it is working. In order to compensate for Mom’s hearing loss, whenever we are chatting and if I believe that she may not fully hear me, I point to things and oh boy!  She is so good at understanding and responding.

So for example, if I wish her to chat about something on the TV as I am relaxing close by, I point to the TV and she knows how to respond.

If I wish her to give me feedback on my top, I stand in front of her and point to my top. She almost immediately gets it.

Then, if I walk towards her and point to my shoes and slacks, she immediately knows that I am seeking her opinion as to whether shoes and slacks match. 

Then, if she sees me trying to find something on her counter, I point to the counter and place my hands on the surface of the counter. She quickly realizes what I am trying to say and she responds.

Or, if I walk towards her to ask how my hair looks after I have washed and dried it, I point with my hair brush to my head and she is on it. This is my pointing strategy. This is my brilliant Mom!

Blown away! The iPhone Translator

 

Guess I am never too old to learn, eh? The other day when Stephie and I went shopping at a Chinese supermarket, we were challenged to communicate with one of their agents. He did not speak much English and our skills to communicate in his language were zero.

So,what did he do? He pulled out his trusty iPhone and through gesturing and pointing, we managed to somehow tell him what we were seeking.

Presto!  He found what we were looking for in no time. Another wonder of the iPhone translator.

A new learning experience: Developing new ways to communicate with Mom

 

If anything I have been forced to develop new ways to communicate with my mom.

Why?  Because of her hearing challenge.

So now this is how I do it.
I go up to her chair.
I touch her on the arm.
When she responds I either talk directly to her or I point towards the thing that I wish to talk about with her.
She is so very quick to understand.

I have also learned that I need not raise my voice when communicating with her.
I must first lower the television and then speak in an even tone to her.
It is working.

Engaging and learning: Talking to the painter

This was a very interesting experience for me. I knew that the painter was working in the hallway because I could hear him moving around and smell his paint.

So, I exited my condo and started to walk gingerly down the hall as I had an appointment to keep. He saw me immediately and came sauntering towards me. I did not need to explain that I was vision impaired.

He guided me expertly past his spot and to the elevator, chatting with me as we went. I learned from him that he would be working in the hallway for a few hours and would probably still be there when I returned.

Not a problem.  It was great to connect with him.

Dealing with those whose first language is not English

 I really do my best to understand and to communicate with those whose first language is not English and I can tell you, during the Covid years wearing a mask made it so much more difficult.

Now that Covid is over, I need to put the extra effort in to ensure that my communication is understandable and that I can also understand. But Covid may not be as over as we would wish so the effort continues.  I just need to listen more carefully, be a bit more attentive, and of course, be more patient!

No different for anyone: Difficulty understanding

I do not think that it is any different for anyone and it does not matter whether or not one is blind, vision-impaired, or sighted! It is all about trying to understand when communicating with a mask on.

During the Covid years it was extremely hard for me at times, especially so when I had to try and decipher a different accent.

Now that we are not wearing masks as much it is a bit better, but with Covid threatening to return I need to prepare for this once more. Others will need to do so, too.

Frustrating and annoying: At the dentist office with Mom

 It often horrifies me how much the medical profession lacks when it comes to being able to engage and communicate in a meaningful manner with blind and vision-impaired patients.  And this is what happened a few months ago when I accompanied Mom to her dentist.

In these modern times, we still have receptionists and admin staff who either refuse or hesitate to communicate with those of us who are blind and/or vision-impaired or they simply disregard our presence.  We even have doctors and nurses who are unable to communicate with us.  In short, they look upon us as either unable to understand or to comprehend or that we are folks who need care givers and legal guardians to speak on our behalf.

What to do?  I invite you to give me your thoughts!

Staying on track: Looking ahead

In looking ahead I realize that I need to ensure that I bear a sober reality in mind. For example: with my precious mom growing older, or younger as I like to think of it, my life is going to change and for me as a blind/vision-impaired person, I constantly need to find ways to engage and communicate with her as a hearing-impaired person.

Additionally, I need to find ways to reshape my career to meet my changing preferences and commitments.  All good on this front!

Frustrating moments: When Zoom does not work

When Zoom works it works like a charm, but when it does not, then nothing doing.

I discovered this on my recent trip to the Caribbean.  You see, I had to pick and choose the times of the day very carefully when it came to scheduling Zoom meetings in the neck of the woods where I was located.

Between 10 a.m. and noon worked well followed by anytime after 3 p.m.  However, any other times of the day and I ran into tons of difficulties.

For the most part, whenever I was successful in connecting the reception was quite acceptable, but there were several times when clarity of voices was a problem.

Zoom continues to help me stay engaged with my associates and friends and is proving to be very effective in helping to keep me in the loop.

Both sides of the coin: The joys and hardships of Zoom

 Oh, yes!  Zoom is very much like technology!  When it is good it is very good but when it is bad it is also very bad!

I think, though, that on the whole Zoom has and continues to help us keep in touch, especially so during the pandemic.  I have gotten used to being able to navigate it and to be an active participant in Zoom meetings.

The only challenge is the reception which, at times, is extremely iffy from the Caribbean.  However, Zoom cannot really be blamed for this!  Right?

Big challenges: Communicating through a mask

 Talk about challenges and for me, as a blind/vision impaired person, it is an additional challenge. And why?  Because I need to ensure that my spoken words are heard.  In addition I need to ensure that I am clearly understood because I am unable to communicate by facial expressions.

In addition, I need to try my level best to use some body gestures and anything else to ensure that I am communicating effectively, concisely, and meaningfully.  I also need to ensure that when communicating I am adhering to the social distancing rules.  

One strategy that I have developed is to use my head to nod yes and no whenever I need to punctuate my communication.

A great experience: My latest physiotherapist

It is of the utmost importance to me, as a blind/vision impaired person, that whenever I interact with a medical professional that I can engage and communicate comfortably and in the friendliest and most welcoming way.  And this is exactly how I felt when I met and engaged and communicated with my latest therapist, Peter Anders.

I had gone to Peter’s clinic for some physiotherapy and the entire session was a complete joy and so very refreshing.  

The receptionist communicated with me without any difficulty.  Peter met me and escorted me to his working area.  Then he proceeded to show me how to do each individual exercise.  No problem showing me as a blind/vision impaired person.

Then, at the end of it all he escorted me back to the reception desk and later emailed me a detailed description of how to do my exercises. Bravo to you, Peter, and your staff.

Precious moments that protect my sanity: Chatting across the miles

This is one very precious activity for me as we continue to deal with the Covid lockdown. I not only do it by phone, I do it via FaceTime as well.

I have had a few cherished FaceTime chats with Mom and some with other friends across Canada and even in England. I have also used Skype to communicate with my chess friend Mark, and I can admit this has all helped to save my sanity.

I still use my land line quite a bit and I have made a commitment to reach out to at least one person every week to chat and make sure that they are okay.

Every Monday my friend Gabriella and I have gab time but there is always a special feeling when reaching out across the miles. Just to hear their voices even though they are so far away. FaceTime with Angie in England is such a treat.

A lingering challenge: Working with old technology

I can honestly say that working with old technology can be very challenging at the best of times.  For me, there is a very simple reason as to why I continue to work with technology that is a bit outdated.

My main reasons are that I am financially disabled right now and I need to get my ducks in a row before going the path of updating to more up-to-date technology. As a matter of fact, my workplace consists of a mixed bag.

I have updated technology that interacts with outdated technology so for me the trick is to have them all communicate with each other and to make the playing field as equal as I can.

For the most part I am blessed that outdated and updated technologies do get along but the challenges arise whenever external websites and social media decide to update. What to do?

I just need to carry on and to ensure that I can cope, do my best to replace outdated with updated as quickly as I can, and to ensure that I have ready help to assist whenever I get into difficulty. Most of all, to use large doses of patience and persistence to help me cope.

Something new: The joys of texting

I am not sure why it took me so very long to become a part of the texting crowd but now I have to admit that it is fast becoming a habit for me.

No more having to spend time composing emails on the fly. All I need to do now is to text simple messages. Then I know that it will be more reliable than sending emails, providing technology cooperates.

The joy is that I can either dictate or speak my texts or even type them. Whereas with emails I only have the choice of typing.

I still am at the stage where I do not abbreviate words and sentences and hopefully it will stay this way. I really do not like those abbreviations.

A pleasant surprise: The Swiss Chalet driver

I must say that I never really paid attention to the driver who delivers our orders from the Swiss Chalet restaurant, but a few months ago he sure caught and held my attention.

You see, I placed an order and when my buzzer sounded I went to the door, opened it, and stood there waiting for him. I heard the elevator door open and then I heard him approaching.

He called a greeting to me when he was about 10 feet away but here is where my attention was caught and held.

The good driver took my hand, placed my bag of food in it, and then softly told me how much my bill was. I knew the total before he arrived as the order taker on the phone had told me what it was when I ordered my food, so I knew that the driver was telling me accurately.

I smiled at him when he told me and for his good deed and affinity for good communication with me as a vision-impaired customer, I gave him a tip.  He chuckled, mumbled a thank you and then he was gone.

I thanked God that day for this driver’s excellent services.

Priceless treasures! Running commentaries from Mom

I am so used to these now that I consider them to be an integral part of my life.  That is, whenever we visit each other.  From sitting quietly together in front of the TV to dining together at our kitchen table.  From dining out at a restaurant to walking in the mall or grocery shopping or walking outdoors.

These are the running commentaries that I have grown to expect and love. They are given so selflessly, freely, and so kindly and humbly. They are given from the heart!  They are given without me even having to ask!

They are filled with unique descriptions, expressions, boundless opinions, and so much more!

Ah, yes! That's my mom and these are her commentaries!

Just my thoughts: Advocating for a better way

There is always a better way to do things and in this light I will humbly submit that there is always a better way to advocate.

No complaining or criticizing, or if it is to be so then let's do it in a professional and respectful way.

More collaborating and committing.  More engaging and less ripping each other apart.  Can this work?  I do think so but it is going to take a mammoth effort from everyone involved.

There are some minute differences: Facetime and Messenger

When it comes to working with technology, I might as well just join the crowd and accept the highs and lows and this especially pertains to such things as Facetime and Messenger.

For the most part, I have not had too many problems with Facetime, just the odd glitch.  I have managed to keep up with the changes, the new additions, and oh yes!  Messenger!

It took me a while to start using Messenger but in the summer of 2018 I used it to communicate with my friend Connie who lives in Milan, Italy.

It was quite exciting for me as we chatted across the miles and as she put it, she much preferred to use Messenger as opposed to Facetime!  Just one more avenue for me to use when I communicate online.
