Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

Good job, Bones.

Fingers crossed everything's rapidly treated and you're feeling better.

Thanks, Hops!

I'm so tired of dealing with so much medical stuff in such a short period of time.

I'm really sorry, Bones.

You've had so much physical pain and stress, on top of everything else.

Chin up, hon.

I hope you're drumming at least once a week!

You deserve that wonderfully hypnotic communal blessing......drumming rocks!

I haven't had the opportunity to do any more drumming since, even though I'm still looking.  For now, I'm focusing on rehearsals for a one-act play which helps to take my mind off of the physical ailments.

Went to a community health screening this morning that was sponsored by AARP and Walgreens as part of their Wellness Tour.  Within a few minutes, I realized that something was missing.  There were two Deaf acquaintances there but NO certified interpreter and the screeners were just simply yelling out numbers!  When I asked where are the interpreters as there are Deaf people sitting here, I got a blank stare and the verbal response of:  "Huh?" 

To make sure my acquaintances were not left out or overlooked, I started interpreting for them even though I am not certified and had considered myself "retired" from that.  This is NOT the first time that the Deaf Community has been overlooked and forgotten!  I would have thought that by the 21st Century, things would have improved.  FRUSTRATING!!!!!!

Feeling sad about Gary Coleman dying yesterday.  From what I read, he was also NC with his parents.  Sounds as if his mother was an N who wanted absolute, total, unquestioned CONTROL over his life.

I think I found a sign of growth recently.

I'm involved with a play that also includes a Deaf actor.  The producer and director have never encountered this situation before so we are all on a learning curve while we work together on this challenge.  Because I have sign language skills, the producer and director asked me to interpret all the one-act plays for the audience for two hours each day for three days.  I told them that I have to decline because my current medical issues would cause too many complications, (e.g. collapsing in public from hypotension that I do NOT want to do!)  While I was saying "no", my emotional reaction was fearful and I was thinking that I was going to get thrown out of the play because I had to say "no" to a request.  (Goes to show how much damage a Narcissistic FOO can do.)  Fortunately, the director and producer understood perfectly, accepted my decision, and have kept me in the play!

It feels good to be able to clearly state that I need to take care of my health and have my statement accepted and embraced by others!

Wow Bones!  As one who knows about those fear filled emotional reactions, that is huge growth! 
Good for you and Congratulations!

Even though this experience is outside of my comfort zone, and a little scary, it feels good at the same time.

Now the question remains...where and how to find the interpreters we need given there is no money to pay them?
