Well, we now have in hand the report from the Defence Medical Examination (DME) that popped up in that quick week. Dr. L., although now it is called an Independent Medical Examination (IME), as was the one for which my Lawyer sent me to Dr. V.
Interesting comparisons: both called me straightforward. Their stuff first!
1.) Dr. L. (for Insurance Co.)…
On examination she is a pleasant woman who seems very straightforward. The mobility of the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers were normal. Power was normal throughout the arms, as was tone and coordination. ( I had no pain in those areas that day so forgot to mention it. Anyway, when he was testing my arm strength, I shoved him back and sideways, much to his surprise.)
The funding was cut-off from that after a time and she has had to fund this on her own to carry on with her mobilization and strengthening. (This is the first that is has been acknowledged in writing, that ICBC cut my funding, prematurely.)
As such, she has become more socially isolated. She often does not wear much in the way of clothing around her place to make it easy for her to be able to go to the washroom, as she needs to. (This is the first, including my lawyer, who acknowledges in writing that I barely dress when at home (nightgown and a blouse)….so spend more time ˝ undressed than dressed.)
The difficulty that she has in donning and doffing clothing has made it more difficult for her to access the community. (Ha! donning and doffing!!!!!)
Dr. L. certifies this:
In preparing this report, I certify that I am aware of my duty to assist the court and that I am not to be an advocate for any party. The report that follows is in conformity with that duty. I will, if called upon to give oral or written testimony, give that testimony in conformity with the duty outlined.
Dr. Y, (damned GP) indicated that Iz had two falls in the bedroom and one fall in the bathroom on March 27, 2007. (WOW! Was I drunk?)
That should read, Dr. Y indicated, in his report of March 27, 2007, Iz had two falls in the bedroom and one fall in the bathroom, after her quads had weakened.
2.) Dr. V.
(a) Presentation: Ms. T------- was a straightforward historian (yabbut he never said I was pleasant!)

So what my lawyer is trying to do is have both sides have all the papers by January 21, 2013. I wrote to him earlier today and told him that I was rehiring Karla as of January 1st, because I had been without therapy for 3 months. I said that my hips were “seizing up” from the lack of manipulation. ( and I don’t mean sex.) He told me, “No More Karla”, back when Dr. V sent his report that took him 5 months to prepare. ( Dr. L was November 30 to today, December 21---Why the difference?….well One thing I will bet is that Dr. L. had all the papers long before we knew I could get a sneaked in, in one week, appointment---. He is good though---never tried to manipulate me into lies.
Lawyer is still trying to brown nose with Dr. V and have a kinesiologist--- no Karla. Even after my morning email, his assistant called, saying lawyer admitted to being behind, and to get moving! Then this is her last day and I have a fill-in for next week---all days are the same to me so they can forget Xmas too!
We have to find a dentist, as the specialist said my case was too difficult.
We have to find a “psycho--- person to give a prognosis re my psychogenic tremors.
N. B means Notez Bien= Note Well
Both Karla and Paul, my lawyer, met in a group of people who owned their own businesses. She did not like him and made it clear. He is the obvious Narcissistic lawyer, but I get to see him in action when he must be pleasant to me, as he is making money from my case! If I find out that he is cutting Karla for some personal reason, well----that is not at all fair! and I will deal with it later.
Karla is neat. When I talk about not feeling my feelings...after spending over 3 years with me, she calls it "Acknowledge and Stuff"...Wow! That's what I do! She has all the words I need!
Karla’s husband has this far Northern job, back and forth and won’t be here for Xmas so she is coming here, we eat vegetarian and I will teach her to crochet, which I promised in 2009.
My sister wrote to me about a client in her Reflexology, or Reiki, who has had a cough for 17 years. It began after her brother was killed in a car accident, and returns every year with her annual cold.--assumes it is psychological. Sis then asks me if I think my tremors are psychological?
I shook my head in despair, as I told her all about psychogenic tremors, somatoform disorder and conversion disorder, that it was all in my head.
I wrote back and wrote as though talking to a child, saying what I already said, then said, “I could have sworn I told you all this, but maybe it was someone who looks like you.”
This followed my asking her the Cause of Mom’s death-- respiratory failure, or heart failure due to respiratory failure? Something like that. She didn’t remember any cough--- OMG!
I vividly described the coughing the hoiking and the hoyking, the spitting, the whatever gruesome stuff that Mom went through, said I saw it in the hospital or in her home, but maybe it was just someone who looked like Mom, and THEN Sis remembered.
Gee, i guess I was worm out, ot thought this was boring, whatever, and just stopped there, so I will sign it
Merry Christmas to to all and to all a Happy New Year!
Iz the whiz
