Hurricanes. The Printer. My New Doctor.

Hello!  Sorry, I have been busy.  I had one setback.  Few times Joe, my oldest brother, wanted to use my computer for typing letters and e-mails to people he have a business with.

I hear Hurricane Hanna is passing by my hometown now but good news that storm is staying away from the shore.  I am seeing the wind outside my house.  It's coming from Hanna.  I can tell that.  Rain all day.  Beaches have a big problem for city leaders.  Hanna will head to Carolinas when it upgrades.  There is another hurricane on the way, Ike.  Ike is a powerful and dangerous.  Also, it will may go to Key West.  Good news is that Ike keeps changing the path from north of Florida to south.  Hopefully.  Cross my fingers.  Residents of Key West will get bad news when they hear about Ike.  Florida Governor Crist declares a state of emergency.  Josephine, another hurricane, is still in Atlantic Ocean.

I had one setback.  My printer that is connecting to a computer broke last Wednesday morning.  It was 4 yrs old. The movable paper stopped as it was about finishing.  I didn't find out what's wrong with my printer until yesterday when Joe and I went back to the repair shop where my computer was at before.  After we stopped by the repair shop, Joe and I went to Office Depot in Ormond Beach for buying a new printer cuz Joe wanted his documents to be printed immediately.  He wanted those badly.  Joe used my computer to type letters to few people he knows last Wednesday night but he didn't know my old printer was not working.  Anyways, we were having a hard time to find the right, HP printer until I went to get an Office Depot employee for helping us to find it.  We found the right, new one.  It looks cool and different than the old one.  The number of my new printer is different.  I am happy to receive it.  Last night, I installed the brand new program.  I was so busy to figure out but unsuccessfully.  I was so wiped out!  Joe stepped in to help me and did it successfully.  Thank God.  Whew!  My new printer works.  I love it.

I still have no pains in my stomach since I took Imodium pills on Aug 12th but I've decided stop taking them anymore few days later because those pills made me very sleepy.  Also, the massage helps to prevent me from having more pains in my belly.  I am regaining my appetite.  That's good news.  Whew!  I did see a new doctor named Dr. G. in South Daytona on August 27th about my swollen feet and stomach.  I just learned the wife of my new doctor was hearing impaired.  I was surprised to find out.  He forgot ASL since his wife got a cochlear implant.  He have to practice ASL all over again since I am his new patient.  I've finally found a smart, wonderful doctor.  Thank God.  He's so good.  My new doctor knows about a deaf culture and 2 of my friends from deaf club.  Wow.  The new doctor suggests Mom and Joe should take a sign language class because all of my family members don't understand me and are confusing by what I said something to them personally.  It's due to our personal arguments.  My family also don't communicating with me much.  I get mad at them sometimes.  The new doctor suggests I should do exercises to get my feet swelling down and do in the swimming pool.

Tomorrow afternoon, I have a meeting at the deaf club at Easter Seals in Daytona Beach and then later that evening, our deaf club is going to play Bingo.

Have a good weekend!

Problem With My Computer. Tropical Storm Fay.

I finally have time to do blogging this subject.  Sorry, I hadn't responding to this blog cuz I had setbacks about the problem of my computer.  It broke down on the week of Tropical Storm Fay.  It happened during the storm one night since we moved into a new home.  We almost lost power few times.  I've tried to fix my computer few times but I quit for the last time.  The problem with my computer was that the screen won't be showing up for 10 minutes.  I waited and waited.  It still looked black and blank.  I had this problem before we moved into a new house.  So, my oldest brother, Joe, took my computer to the repair shop in Ormond Beach.  Joe said a part of my computer died.  I later found out there was a problem with the fan inside my computer.  I got my computer back to my home from the repair shop yesterday.  Joe paid it for me.  David, my youngest brother, set it up for me when I came home yesterday afternoon.  He knows how to do it.  David owns a laptop.  I thanked David for that.  Whew!

I did go to the library last Tuesday for checking my e-mails in the computer while I waited for my computer to be repairing in the shop.  I had to do e-mailing Joe's friend who lives in the state of New York first.  Joe asked me to do that for him.  I tried to be in a hurry cuz the library has a rule, one hour limit.  I finished typing it 3 minutes before the end of session in my account.  Whew!  Then I started all over again to check my personal e-mails for another hour.  And then I went home.

Have u heard about Tropical Storm Fay?  It happened in Florida last week.  Florida got rain for a week.  It was awful.  Part of my home county got a flood but we are lucky that we are not flooding victims.  Thank God, we are safe.  Other county in my home state got it, too.  We almost lost power few times during the thunderstorm that is coming from T.S. Fay.  Oh, boy.  Many of thousand residents lost power, too.  I saw the sun again last weekend.  Finally.  Some residents of 2 counties lost everything due to a flood by T.S. Fay.  I heard they complain about it on local TV news.  Thank God, we moved into the new home at the right time before Fay but we didn't know it's coming our way.

I also heard that there will be another hurricane, Gustov, on the way to the Gulf of Mexico and possible to Gulf Coast.  I don't know where it will go to.  When I found out it will head to New Orleans, I said, "Oh, no, not again."  It reminds me of Hurricane Katrina, remember that almost 3 years ago?  Another hurricane, Hanna, in Atlantic Ocean and 2 more waves that are about starting to develop.

That's it for now but I have more details to talk about in the next blog later.
