I knew all of this would be challenging but I had no idea just getting to and from a doctor would be an issue.
We were left at the doctors office for four hours on Tuesday before the office called another service to take us home.
I had already scheduled the service for today to take him to see his general physician.
Transportation called me at 10:20 and said they would be here in 1/2 an hour. His appointment was at 10:30..... Cancelled the service and had to reschedule the doctors visit. I have a new company to call and will definitely use them the next time we go to the doctor!
Ricky is still doing well at home. He still has some confusion but I know what meds are doing it to him and plan to get them changed.
We didn't have a great night last night anyway. I think Ricky was overstimulated in some sense. My last call with him is at 2:30am I get him settled then I can get a few hours of consistent sleep.
I laid down at 3am and Ricky woke me up at 4:30 am because it was dark, that was his reason....lol
Anyway got him ready for the doctors around 7:30 and then got myself ready. No show on the transportation.
I'm sure this is just part of the system that I am trying to figure out.
I in no way wanted to be a part of this system because I knew how messed up it was.
It's beyond messed up. No one can fix the mess they created with this medical industry.
It's their ride and I have to get in and hold on tight. Everything is backward from what you were taught.
It's been a struggle but without family and friends support we wouldn't have made it this far!
So in case I haven't thanked anyone lately, I greatly appreciate all that you do for Ricky and I and I do not know where we would be without you guys!!!
Home health care nurse and speech therapist come out to see him tomorrow.
And also a company called Source, that's through Medicaid, is coming out to assess him. They will come out and sit with him while I do errands and they offer many other services so I am happy a spot became available for him.
We will continue to refer him to outpatient therapy centers in the meantime.
Thanks again for all of the prayers and support!!
