Today started with a bang. I went to get Cottia's dirty cloths and fell forward into the closet. I hit my head and man did it hurt. It bled a little but nothing major. I had a headache most of the rest of the day. Then, I got a call from my disability that the behavioral therapist had released me to work as of yesterday. I quickly began to panic and the stuttering became uncontroable. I called Emily who always has the presense of mind to calm me down. I'm not going to get into a great of detail but Emily placed a call to the doctors office. I kind of feel sorry for the doctor when he has to explain this one to her! But, when I called him I could barely speak and he said it was obvious that stress caused the stuttering. Well, duh, I think we already knew that. He did say he had only seen me twice and therefore did not have a diagnosis which bares the question as to why he released me instead of referring the disability specialist back to my general doctor. So, I called my general practice and they said not to worry about it. I also called the disability specialist and did my best to speak,. I think in a way it was good for her to hear just how bad my situation is. She said she was not denying the claim but she did not have any information on the tremors or the other issues affecting my body so we have to see what the doctor says. Once again God stepped in as my occupational therapist drove up at that exact moment. He took my bp which was 150/88. That is very high for me so he stayed with me until I had calmed down. He is a Christian so that was also a good thing. Bottom line is the doctor made a mistake in a line of mistakes from the medical community in my case. While I am getting better at walking I am still not steady and can fall at any time as was the case this morning. I have fluencey issues and tremors that can come on at anytime. I know the disability specialist has a job to do but there is just no way I can return to work at this time. So, now we wait until the records are sent and evaluated. I emailed the information from HealthSouth, Dr Westercam and lexington medical center so she can get everything she needs to make the proper decision.
On another note, does anyone think this should be a made for tv movie????? I'm beginning to think so!
