let's try this AGAIN.
i went to my occupational therapy appointment today at gillette. it was originally supposed to be scheduled as just a mobile visit and airport taxi texted me telling me they were gonna bring me to gillette. i didn't wanna miss an appointment, so i went on the airport taxi ride. i got to the clinic, checked in, she called me to her office. when i was sitting in her office, she told me that it was supposed to be a mobile visit, so she could see by my cell phone what i all needed in my apartment. i told her about what i had in my apartment and she came up with ideas of things to get for my apartment and printed them off and gave them to me to give to someone that'd help me get them (i'm thinking my case manager). then i said, "i came because i thought they were gonna be doing a driving assessment with me again." then she said, "well.. i see that dr. ohland also wrote orders for you to schedule a driving assessment here.. have you made that?" then i said, "no.. partly because i know occupational therapy helps with driving and i was assuming that's what this visit was for." then she said, "no.. this was a visit scheduled to see what you all need to make your apartment more accessible but i'll write on here that you need to schedule a driving assessment. have you done driving assessments before?" then i said, "yeah.. i've done a few at courage center and they failed me because they're trying to take advantage of my lack of advocacy.. trying to get as much money outta me as possible for rehabilitation i don't need since i went there for at least 10 years.. then i went HERE for an assessment and the first thing the lady said to me when i walked in there for a driving assessment was "OH NOT YOU AGAIN!". so needless to say i failed that assessment." then the occupational therapist asked me, "who said that to you?" then i said, "some old bag of a therapist." then she said, "OH! LINDA! well she retired in november.. you could go in again and have them tell you what you need to work on.." so i scheduled another assessment at the desk when i left the occupational therapist's office. HOPEFULLY things are different this time around. i'm not sure why i have such shitty luck with therapists.. i do EVERYTHING i'm supposed to.. hopefully i catch a damn break now..
