I was waiting for it. Weird sense of humor, I know. All you need is a CART transcriptionist. She won’t need internet. They usually come with their own equipment, and often double as court stenographers.

How it works– she’ll bring her own little laptop on a stand and her transcription machine. You sit next to her and read the laptop while she types on her machine.

Here’s a listing of people in CA

Also–if you get in touch with your deaf cntr, they might be able have a list of names. Additionally, see if Gayle can help. She might even know someone in So. CA. The hospital needs to know how to accommodate us. Good luck with your fight. I’m so proud of you!!!

Best wishes on your recovery. It is a fascinating journey. There is online AA available so the issue of being able to hear is circumvented. An international group for alcoholics who are deaf/Deaf/HOH is SOS_online_group@yahoogroups.com SOS stands for Sounds of Sobriety.
