Neuro centre

[Yvonneandgeorge]

Hi all I had a call from the neuro centre today, they wanted to assess George on the phone, they asked me all sorts of question, I felt really bad them trying to assess George in a phone call, told him that how can you assess someone without seeing them, I had to be a bit stroppy, and kept insisting that they have a face to face meeting to see George for themselves.

I don't really like being stroppy, because I am not like that but this PSP has made me fight for him, I really feel upset with them, I said my husbands doctor has been asking for this for nearly two months, and the speech therapist had been in touch with them so many times and it has taken so long, and now you want to assess him on the phone, am I being to sensitive? So many things going around in my mind, that when we got to the centre George went back, and I went with him straight onto the concrete path, he went pure white, and I cut my hand and hurt my knee, I was thinking of so many things.

Our son had a day off and he took me out to lunch. By the way the person that rung this morning and he said he would speak to his colleague and get back to me, I wonder when, I am sure he said today. Sorry to moan but have enough to worry about without another problem, they seems to be coming all the time.

Have a good evening Yvonne xxxxxxxx

I think the only surprise, is that they didn't demand to speak to George! Well Done for standing up to these people, I know it's not easy, but I'm afraid it comes with the terrority. I am a totally different person now, thanks to this blasted disease. Some bits I actually quite like, it's great not to be looked down at, by certain people. Other bits, well, like you, I hate it!!! I'm trying a new tack now, crying in front of these people, I hate crying in public, but the professionals hate it even more!!!!

I think we all have to accept, that the problems are going to keep rolling in, as long as they are different ones each day, we are doing OK,!!!

Keep those boxing gloves on!

Lots of love

Heady

Like everyone else on here pre diognoses I was a different person. I was not happy with the way the doctors treated Brian before diognoses but never made much of a fuss. But now we know what is what I'm like a lion protecting my cubs. And if anyone and I mean anyone says anything that I think is wrong I look them up and down and ask "are you for real". I think the two most important things to have now is a pair of boxing gloves and a box of tissues. And when you have finished one round have a glass of wine. Good luck Janexx

I know what you mean. I am getting more and more stroppy because its the only way to get anywhere. But we have just returned from seeing the G.P. as C has a cold and she was really caring and listened. When that happens I feel tearful !

After getting really "teacherish " on the phone we have a pair of physios coming to reassess C. on Thurs. I don't think they understand how quickly things can change with this disease. Chin up !! love, Jean
