Happy New Year and welcome to 2012.
I had to start my new year with dreamwidth by requesting a new password as I had forgotten mine, completely typical of me to be honest.
It's almost 1am where I am here in Scotland but as usual I am trying to relax - or exhaust - myself enough to get some sleep. It all really depends on my pain level at the moment as my exercises given to me after my physiotherapy assessment on the 22nd of December have only so far aggravated my 'good' shoulder and increased the pain and stiffness in my 'bad' shoulder as well. Wonderful.
Again, just typical given my luck.
I am fervently hoping that my occupational therapy appointment for assessment there comes through in the New Year as there has been no sign of it at all since my initial short interview at the hospital with the OT on the 31st October. In fact I was referred to the OT not the PT, so it's frustrating that only the PT has been started. In fact I'm becoming very concerned that my appointment for a full assessment hasn't happened, the PT was brought in by the OT I saw at the hospital in October and yet only a PT appointment has turned up in the 2 months since. I think it's been overlooked or just plain forgotten as I should've had at least an appointment through even if I was waiting on a long list.
I'll bring it up with my PT in two weeks when I am due back again. Also I need to ask why he didn't include my Fibromyalgia in my assessment and only assessed me on the grounds on my congenital spinal deformities and RA. Doesn't help that I don't feel really comfortable with the PT I have been referred to - I was supposed to see the female PT I saw at the hospital but instead was assessed and seemingly been put on the list with a younger male PT. So the fact that A - he's at least a decade younger than me and B - he's a male PT, I am not very comfortable with him especially if I feel the need to discuss the more personal feminine aspects of my disabilities.
