Update!
They will keep me overnight and on iv antibiotics, pain meds and anti naseua (sp?) meds.
So when the Infectious doctor came by and of course he asked if I could read lips. I replied coldly no that's what the paper and pen is for and reading lips isn't like reading a book with the words clear and understandable.
He then tells me his wife is deaf and reads lips very well! I asked oh does she sign? He says wrote no and I replied oh she's the little d not the big D. I added she's missing out on a wonderful vibrant community! He writes she does miss a lot of words and I told him if she signed she would not miss out.
Of course we warmed up to each other and he apologized but I told him this is my job to educate hearing people on Deaf culture and ASL.
He will check on me again tmw in the am or someone from his team.
