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!!!
