Angry over U.S. healthcare fail, Trump voters spare him blame

52. Wow. My daughter had meningitis at just under 2. We were

Lucky we lived very near Scott and White Hospital at the time, a residential training facility. It is very rare, but she was diagnosed immediately, even over the phone. They told me to rush her in. As I walked into the ER, literally as the doors were opening, I was met by seven Drs and nurses, who took her immediately from my arms, without my even going through Registration. They kept her for several hours, and then she spent weeks in the hospital.
(Her father, who fortunately was away for the evening speaking, came later to the hospital, irate, that I had taken her into the hospital, without consulting him, and said he could have handled it, without getting a medical bill. We were lawyers.)

She has other hearing complications also, unrelated to her meningitis. Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome and other things. She had a very difficult childhood for that and other reasons...divorce, single parent, much more. I tried to compensate, but it was very hard for her. In college, she had note takers, but they often did not show. She reads lips well, but many professors had foreign accents. All of school was very stressful, from very young, bullying, even into grad school. She had a special phone to call her patients, and another student stole it for spite.

I was stunned when I read your post. You have had some tragic experiences. I am very sorry those things happened in your life. You are obviously brave and resilent.

My daughter feared she could never hear her children speak. Having a cat and dog helped her, as the cat would perk up when she needed to be alerted to something. She has aids, but as you know, hearing aids are not like having glasses for sight problems. With her conditions, they do little anyway, but even a little can be a lot. She is now married with a one and a three year old daughter, and.a loving husband. The kids both speak and sign.

I would leave my trumpster relatives for Canada with no problem. Fortunately, we live in different states and long distances away. My daughter lives notth and I am south, so I might even be closer to her. Mainly, I no longer like what our country stands for, in terms of values and decency. I am with the resistance. We should give the Statue of Liberty to Canada.
