I've had enough

The time has come to accept the reality I DO NOT the best rehab team because of the way I see the world 

And as such I must return to finding joy in picking splint colours , using special wheelchairs, mastering a keyboard that isn't repairable when breaks 

The list is heartbreaking  long hopefully with nureolonligical programming(modern name for brainwashing) the list will  become less heartbreaking 

Hopefully my Botox Dr will agree to keep me comfortable till the arm relaxes in the splints 

There's a lot of pt that will make my life easier that we can focus on.After a we master swing thou on a "your hands are fcuked" walker ill use my rehab hour to move upright for the sake of it 

Pt's lazy

He's saying he can't ask for my records 

So I went to my GP's receptionist who was like yes he can and I can't really give you the records because he's asked for them. He's meant to do it himself.

So I'm not happy with him  

The finger splints he ordered didn't fit

Went to the Gp on Tuesday re stabbing pains in my right shoulder on Saturday while having in the shower (I wash my good arm with my bad arm)

I also brought up the issue of Nureosurgey not receiving my Rhiztomy referral from my Botox Dr. At which point my GP agrees to write to Hospital Management about my lack of a Rehabilitation Team and fact I desperately need a rehab review and plan. Which was music to my ears .

Because my face lit up he warned me that the review could say that rehabilitation services are not producing enough results to justify the cost of services. While that is a risk I believe a review is the correct and necessary next step.  Because I know of  patients who state honsently that after 17 years of Botox every 3 months they see no improvement in their upper limb. Which I find scary to think about.

Pt was good we tried some finger splints that didnt fit (he ordered wrong size) or they wouldn't hold the index finger bent enough that it would be useful for typing.  So I asked if he had seen this post then he admitted he doesn't read the blog. Agreed that this type of splint would work best and then started to draw an outline of a splint design based on that photo.

Then we repeat the same excirses we did last week again and commented I was doing them better

Then the receptionist told me hes away next Tuesday and can't do next Thursday. Upside is I can go to student assocation Pubcrawl. Don't worry I'm NOT drinking.

At the OT assessment for course today I was informed that Support Funds(vocational rehab) would more than likely cover the cost of the splint as its needed for study. Yay!!!

PT is coming along nicely

 And a gym ball(I'm still not sure I like those things-after conducive education mum choose bobath)

After my pt had my right forearm screaming abuse at me and my left tricep doing the same. He asked what I thought about using a round foam disk thingie was doing to the weight transfer exercise we were doing umm I'm in an amount of pain that means I can't notice and I told him so

Then I had sign language class

And yea he was sick last week

Pt cancelled

My pt cancelled. For his sake I hope he's sick otherwise I will be buying a piece of drain pipe to beat him with.

As this cancellation means that my rehabilitation programme has been majorly delayed by a week as we were meant to building a typing splint(to get me typing with my right index finger at the same time as my left hand) which UCOL is waiting(they have an Egro keyboard that I can use) for.
