Physical Therapist~~~~BOO!!!
« on: July 25, 2008, 07:23:33 PM »
Last November when she came I asked if I could have an ankle weight or something like that to strengthen my left quad, as  my right quad is much stronger from heaving the cast around for 3 months.

She came once with 4 easy exercises for me and I have been doing them, but no change

Today she came again with a new idea, then said 'no' when we tried it!

Then she had a bright idea! She said she would try to find an ankle weight of some kind for me to heave around every day!

WHAT???????

Sheesh! sounds like an N, stealing ideas, taking credit!

You mean you have put up with this since last November?  That's almost a year....could you have just strapped those weights on yourself? 

Yeah, I'm playing devil's advocate....

sometimes we have to take another's agenda into consideration and communicate accordingly? 

Sorry...I've had a humble day....

And to call everyone who has not met our expectations an "n" is not the issue...but it's tempting :)

You know, my dogs are very "n"....they bark at all hours of the day until I walk them and feed them and acknowledge their dogginess....they are truly insufferable....and they are being dogs....I have to acknowledge I am co-dependent. 

Just something to think about....

Get some weights yourself....share the knowledge!

hi lupine,
I was coming on to post that also today I found Becky's shoeprints all over my kitchen floor. The only person with dirty shoes (don't know where she's been) to bring that in, in my 6 years here, and I had just washed my floor, a few days ago.

I saw because I came home from shopping today and turned on the kitchen light (bright) and after she left yesterday I used the dining room light to see into the kitchen (2/5 bulbs burned out---need a tall person to replace) and didn't notice.

Also I told her I found out the problem re my wheelchair, new 2 years ago, and still a problem to propel. I needed a 'dump'...no not that kind. It's a 1" drop in the back of the seat from the front. She tried to let on she knew about a 'dump' but I knew she didn't. She even said that many 'chairs don't have them and I cannot believe that, because if someone is missing an iota of balance that person will have a feeling of going to pitch forward out of the chair. I sure did and I have tummy strength to stop it.

Then she asks me to call her when I want a new 'chair and I said I would call a Physio Therapist.

She is an Occupational Therapist who took on what she does not know.

Re the ankle weight, it was she who didn't listen, not the Physio who came with her, so I will get Amanda. I need one that will not cause any skiin sores, so better do it the right way with the right person. (I wouldn't know how to do it properly right out of a hardware store.

Well, Iz, must be frustrating.  I think as we get older we get set in our ways and when someone comes into our life and upsets the apple cart, sorta speak, it is annoying to us.  I am currently babysitting a 10 month old golden retriever and he is driving me crazy.....upsetting the apple cart for sure!
