rod123 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 As a carer most things that happen i can see the point of, but Merrill started to see o/t and physio and they both set her goals to achieve which to me makes sound sense little steps forward is how i see this but physio has started to send an assistant round once a week and all she does is walk 100 yds to the shop and back and thats it, although Merrills mobility is poor and she moves slowly i try to take her for a 15 minute walk each day as told to by the o/t so i don't understand why someone comes once a week to walk 100 yards and that is their job done what is the point of that or am i missing something . thanks Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul99 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 rod i think the ot has a point admittedly you are excersising merrill but the ot asst will push mel further than you or i would push mell yes it seems a waste but mell might take it from a stranger pushing whereas you or i would proberly get a mouth full for pushing her lol give it a chance rod will call you tomorrow night take care hugs and cuddles to mell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrycornish Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Rod, I can fully understand your frustration but think about this. Not all patients do as their physio/OT ask so it's probably good for the physio's assistant to make sure that Merril does;-) Or maybe the physio can't think what else to do with the assistant, it must be difficult sometimes and maybe you and Merril look kind;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
