My home visit is officially over. The person who came was such a nice woman who was empathetic and kind. She asked me the same questions every provider I’ve seen has asked me. She even has the same wedding anniversary as me! And she is getting a new puppy tonight.
But here is what was really cool. Her daughter had a chronic pain condition. Then she got a spinal cord stimulator. Now she has her life back and she can run again. She also case managed a client who had the same situation. Chronic pain hell, spinal stimulator, life back.
So I freaked out for nothing. Got defensive for nothing. That really grinds my gears.
I think you were very validated in getting freaked out. You didn't know what this person, who was coming into your home for heavens sake, would be like. I am so glad that she was a good person, and could give you some hope about the pain situation. When you run again I'll come watch, and stand on the sideline and hand you a cup of water!
ReplyDeleteIt's really okay for you to freak out. I of course never do...*snicker* ROFLMAO!
