Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 , so sorry those good days didn't last! But on the " good side " she did ride out that dance show. Good for her! I think someone suggested that you ask the psych's office to call you if there's a cancellation? Is this a private psych? > > Just wanted to let you all know how is doing since I haven't > posted in a few days. > > Well, just as all of you predicted, she is backsliding BIG TIME.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I think I will give them a call tomorrow and see what their " cancellation policy " is. You have to have an intake appointment first with a nurse where she takes the history and all then about a week later you see the doc. so I am not sure how that would work with a waiting list. Fortunately, we do live in Pennsylvania and our winters can be nasty and often docs. do get people cancel because they don't want to go out in the weater. I will definitely check into it. > > > > Just wanted to let you all know how is doing since I haven't > > posted in a few days. > > > > Well, just as all of you predicted, she is backsliding BIG TIME.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I believe the nurse just takes down the history, background information regarding the family, the patient's current situation, etc. She then compiles all of this information along with any records obtained from psychologists, pediatricians, etc. so that the doc. can review it before he actually sees the patient. > > Interesting, what does the nurse do?

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 A couple of members have asked " how things are going. " I'm never really sure, but here's where I think we are. We have " choices. " (1) Reduce Luke's program by 18% (2) Contribute to transportation expenses As long as we can, we'll go with option 2. At a minimum, this means $100/WEEK!!!! We don't know how long the ol' retirement dollars can take this, but SHIT, this is where we are. I know I should have gone to a " Senior Services " expo today sponsored by my Senator (burzynski) and Representative (pritchard). But they were just going to have their " representatives " there (maybe they were on vacation --- Hey, don't laugh, we had ONE 21 years ago) and I didn't feel like wasting my time. Besides, the real purpose was to get their names in front of us seniors because we vote. (Ahhhh the lure of re-election!) It make me think how cool it would be if people with DD voted in mass. Can't you envision our legislators sponsoring a DD expo???? Wouldn't that be great?! Hey, maybe I should set up a donation bucket in front of their offices to raise dollars for Luke's transportation. That sounds kinda neat to me. Such is life in the land of Lincoln. We need to BEG for what should be rightfully given. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
