[Blindtlk] revisiting dogs and ambulances

[Ericka]

I understand where you're coming from Bibi. Perhaps you need a horn on that so you can let others know you're coming. LOL! Sometimes that can be heard better by hearing impaired blind person than anything else. We have a guy here who can't hear and can't see. He's got his own issues emotionally and most people really watch out because they don't want to get whacked in the head by his cane or screamed at by him. I think however that having the office manager "deal with him " is probably the wrong way to go.  Probably both of you should be in that office talking together with the manager. Just thinking about others who have multiple disabilities too. A lot of seniors and others have physical things like CP or balance issues and can't move as fast. They may have heard you but couldn't react in time. I don't know anything about this guy so I'm just thinking ahead to the future. The best part is everyone's OK. Nice to hear from you and I hope next time we share something with each other it's more happy than scary.

Rest for now. Praying for you.
