Today I begin my 7 weeks of my Self Management course (for my ILD (organised by Bury & Rochdale Care Org Northern Care Alliance Trust (Expert Patients Programme Self Management Serivice
Looking at their paperwork they ve given us a self action plan, a Thick Book Self Management of Long Term Health Conditions & Paperwork Associated with the Eatwell Guide - its 1-3pm every Wednesday
So we ll see how it goes
I had to speak to the Manager of the woman who confirmed it was taking place because when she confirmed it at the time I had a college tutorial with my support worker on the same day & her response was CANT YOU CANCEL IT!!!! (bear in mind the caps represent the aggresive way & in her tone of voice that she said it ) & when my college tutor support worker phoned me to tell me she could no longer support me because she'd been seconded to assist someone with learning difficulties -I phoned this woman back to tell her she said Oh Fantastic in a way that sounded victorious -ie thank god thats been cancelled -it seemed that way to me
The only thing that prevented me from taking it further was the manager asked me the day date & time it happened which I didnt record (& regret NOT doing it) otherwise I wouldve done so in time although I remain furious about her unprofessional behaviour I've calmed down & just moved on -if Id had those details I think Id ve taken it further (I figured that when the woman who acted aggresively towards me who said she didnt remember it got away with it because I dint have those details to remind her
So Im starting this course so I ll let you know how it went

Today -just discussion - introductions -whats going to be in the course , distraction techniques , ways to manage pain by thinking of other things - drawing up an action planDone via MS Teams -& I came face to face with that woman who was very aggressive. -At the end of the day when they mentioned making contact on a Monday I took the opportunity to show the woman up in front of everyone by telling her that every fortnight on a Monday afternoon I go to college (which is the truth) & said its non negotiable & cant be cancelled (to teach her a lesson) I could see a slight smirk on her face that probably said "flippin eck!!"
She said I can contact me Monday morning which I said was ok
I’m glad it went well, and it’s great that you were able to be assertive in your dealings with the Manager. You have every reason to feel very good. Please let us know how you get on with the course. 🙂👍
yes im sure they will .I ll continue to keep showing her up if a situation arises in the same way - if it doesnt then I wont -but it ll teach her to be so unprofessional
