Hi all,
We had the occupational therapist come today - not that any of us saw her!
We got the letter on Friday 23rd saying she was coming today (26th) - not exactly enough time for any of us to arrange to be here!
My Mum, however, did manage to speak to her on the phone this morning before the arranged visit to tell her not to bother but she said she'd still come and would phone my Mum about the visit later this week. I've just got home and my Nan said that two women came earlier. I asked her what they'd said and she said it was something to do with religion! Guess they must be trying new training strategies for therapists - you've got to laugh!
At first we were a bit worried about not being there for the visit but I think, in a way, it will be good for them to see my Nan without my Mum around as it's bound to make her more confused if my Mum isn't there for her to re-direct their questions to. Not really sure what they actually came for, but my Mum asked them specifically this morning to see whether they thought my Nan was safe to be left at home on her own every day. We're all really worried about this, but it seems there's not a lot we can do until day care can be arranged.
Has anyone got any previous experience with O. therapists and what they actually do/did for you?
