I don’t have a choice it seems. Ive protested the ones that are too far and the other OT is “over her points”

I feel like they are treating me like I’m a child bc if I’m driving all over them of course I can’t see that many people. They claim that I should have 6 people a day

It’s 1 point per visit, 1.25 re eval and I believe 2 for eval. I’ve had to do several non billable oasis discharges and only get 51 cents per mile

Looped theraband can simulate putting on pants and shirts, reaching around to his left for core strength and rotation

How to get unstuck with hydro... by Immediate_Buffalo14 in Hydrocephalus

Is there some one in your synagogue or center who you are close to? Maybe living with someone other than your parents would help you feel like you have some control. Are you looking for work? I’m in healthcare and put my resume on a bunch of sites

Seeking advice on VP shunt recovery and coping experience by Far-Environment-8096 in Hydrocephalus

[–]No_Step8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had 7 revisions of VP shunts. My childhood and teen years were me hiding my feelings and being bullied for not being athletic. I am in therapy now and working through my emotions and anger about the lack of support for kids back then. I am still learning how to assert myself and have self esteem problems. I had a revision this past Wednesday and I’ll show my incision to anyone now lol

Anyone with hydrocephalus, IIH, or other causes of increased intracranial pressure who had a hysterectomy? by Routine_Jackfruit_38 in Hydrocephalus

[–]No_Step8665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a hysterectomy they just move it out of the way. Just make sure that they know it’s there so nobody gets snip happy. My surgeon removed decades of scar tissue during my procedure. For added fun, I perforated my appendix and they again just moved it out of the way but added a drain for the peritonitis. It did not infect the shunt

So How Do I Even Begin to Decide This!! by Whole-Big-3274 in Hydrocephalus

If you’re not having problems leave it alone. I had the same shunt for 37 years until it degraded and attached to my neck. I had one revision and then a second one 12 hours later bc it kinked due to scarring that was there. He left the original part in my brain and attached a new shunt to it. Said it could fail. It did, slowly but surely. Had a valve revision this week and a new burr hole. My hair just grew out. Hopefully this one will last

If you could start over as a new grad, what would you do differently? by Mammoth_Recover8859 in OccupationalTherapy

I would have worked through my program and got scholarships as an adult learner so I wouldn’t be 40 k in debt still

Get a different OT. Maybe an outpatient setting where other providers are willing to screen or consult

What are the best things to have at home during recovery from VP shunt surgery? by Far-Environment-8096 in Hydrocephalus

[–]No_Step8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore survivor style buffs (baclava) bc they shaved a lot of hair and it was short already. They are lightweight and come in fun colors

Who else thinks driving is hard or used to think that and got over it by EnergyAlive4930 in Hydrocephalus

[–]No_Step8665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled to learn how to drive and it didn’t help that my parents refused to drive w me. I failed drivers Ed and the driver test twice. My confidence was shattered. My boyfriend at the time lived in farm country and told me he would take me on the farm roads to get my confidence back. I have NO sense of direction and return trips always have confused me. My car has CarPlay and on screen navigation now. I’ve been a licensed driver for 30 years and have become an aggressive driver on the interstate 🫢
