Feeling fed up with waiting....

:( Why, why can't they hurry up sorting out the access & ramp so Trev can come home. Phoned the OT in charge of organising the ramp etc...still no news on the access, but I've got the phone number of the man responsible for sorting it...so he's getting a piece of my mind tomorrow...if I don't get an answer I'm contacting my MP (member of parliament)...& threatening to contact the local newspaper :Tantrum: :Tantrum: I'm on the warpath :Tantrum: :Tantrum:

 

Went to visit Trev today to find him depressed at the beginning of the visit, fed up of just sitting around etc. Cheered up a lot by the time I left. He is so frustated at the long wait before he can come home.

 

On the plus side a fellow patient he met on the stroke rehab unit is now attending the day unit on the same day he's there so he has someone around his age to talk to which he's pleased about.

 

I just HATE all this waiting, We just want to be together, he'll be so much better at home. Sorry I'll stop now, I'm just so mad/upset etc tonight......be better tomorrow.

Hang in there Chris. Bureaucrats are so slow because there is no timeline for them to have to perform to. I was a public ( civil) servant and the letter from the MP , called a "ministerial" meant you had 48 hours to complete the case. That usually meant someone further up the line had had it on his/her desk too long!

 

We are all so looking forward to you having Trev home with you again. I only did the daily trip to see Ray for three months and that was long enough. Mind you his homecoming and living with the routine of appointments, PT etc will bring it's own frustrations to both of you. But we'll be here to support you through the frustrations.

Of course, Trev is feed up, but I would start by thinking OUT OF THE BOX - Call you zoning dept. in town hall and give them 2 weeks to comply OR you'll get an attorney!! This will make them move as the ADA has made it LAW that all evtrances MUST be accessible :Clap-Hands: :Clap-Hands: So, go for it & try to be proactive on this issue, so Trev can come home

GOOD LUCK
