Today I took Patrick for an evaluation for an evaluation (yes, I meant to say that twice) with a neuropsychologist.
His therapists recommended getting a neuro-psych test done, which they say will give them more in-depth answers to Patrick's cognative and I believe physical abilities. I guess they hope to use the info they learn to focus their attention on what will best help Patrick achieve his personal goals. At $30 an hour, and a minimum of 10+ hours for the actual test, the background info (what we did today) and their recommendations, I hope it is money well spent.
The facility where he is getting the testing done also does Bioness therapy, driving evaluations and driving lessons for those with deficits for whatever reason. When I mentioned these services to Patrick, he just beemed. We are already in the paperwork phase of getting into the bioness, and driving is certainly tops on Patrick's TO-DO list. I actually went to get in our new car the other day, and noticed the seat had been moved. I had driven our old car to work that day, and while I was gone he had decided to sit in the drivers seat for the first time to see how it felt. I think he knows better than to try to drive, but I guess I better make sure I take the keys with me when I drive the old car just to keep him and pedestrians safe.
Still not feeling so great, but I am trudging along okay. I hope I can be back to 100% soon, as we have a big walk coming up June 2. Another stroke survivor has asked Patrick to participate in a 5k walk/run to benefit Habitat for Humanity. I was thinking I would walk too, but I am scheduled to work that afternoon, so I am trying to determine if I am too out of shape to do a 5K walk in the morning and then work all night. If I don't start feeling better soon, I won't have to worry about it.
Take Care Everyone,
Kristen
