Good answers!
I have a solution, Joel.
I am getting a little sign to wear around my neck for my husband and caregivers that reads: "Sorry, I cannot answer you because I cannot speak." My husband forgets, and caregivers persist in asking questions that require explanations when I don't have a way to answer. My hands are in water, or my LightWriter is out again, etc. My entire vocabulary is thumbs up and thumbs down, except when I'm seated at the DynaVox.
Since this seriously bothers you, why not a little sign on a lanyard around your neck that says, "One question at a time, Honey"?
