its been over a fortnight since i last posted anything. its been a hectic time, culminating in me being treated for bowel spasms today. I spent last night doubled up in pain with stomach cramps. Fortunately the medication i received has started to work already.
Kim was diagnosed as having Sciatica last week, he damaged the nerve sitting in an inflatable chair no less. Her back goes into spasms and locks, so she will need physiotherapy and drugs to alleviate the pain. As much as we try to fight it, we are starting to show our age!!
Aisha has been diagnosed as being within the Autistic Spectrum, with aspects of Asbergers syndrome. As the consultant said, she is a very complex wee girl. The patches to help her bladder are making a huge difference. We are now waiting on the Clinical Psychologist to meet with her to fine tune the assessment, categorise where she appears on the spectrum and decide what help she requires.
My mum will also be getting a psychologist assessment. Last week i was out visiting her while her carer was there. We were discussing her diabetes and how she controls it when she just lost it, swearing her head off at the carer. I was completely shocked. After she had calmed down, i tried speaking to her but she was a different person, all subdued. I phoned the carer that night and she explained that this was fairly typical behaviour of my mum when she got angry. Always about the littlest thing. So we decided the best thing was to get an assessment done. To be honest, i am worried what they will find, and what action they decide needs to be taken!!
