      From Pinay2008 February 2

      I definitely will! thanks for the support, oc1dean; i appreciate it very much. my problem with this OT is also the lack of moral support and motivation. And, we , of all people need these most of all - it's pretty much all we can hold on to! In fact, I've stopped wearing the splint she insisted I got to make my wrist bend a certain way; this is what's so frustrating; now, I'm not even wearing the stupid splint which actually hurts a lot when it's on my arm. I have worn this thing for so many months it really has started bothering me. I just put it away and so, I figure, I'll just fire my OT and see how she likes not having me as a patient anymore. It's not like she'sGod, you know what I mean; It took me a long time and process to finally get my saebosplint and she won't even let me try it- how is my arm and hand supposed to move if not for the saebo? She saysthat the saebo is not the ultimate and best treatment; but i beg to differ coz, how would you know unless you actually wore the thing? Sorry to rant and rave but it really irritates the hell out of me.You take care, ok? and, again, thanks for the support and listening to me rant and rave! Love always, Pinay:)

      From Pinay2008 January 28

      Hi, oc1dean - I got a saeboflex contraption at my therapist's place but I never was allowed to use it because my OT insists that my wrist had to reach a certain position; I'm about ready to fire her and find a better one. Good luck wi the saeboflex! Please take care and God bless Love always, Pinay:)

      From Dashia January 23

      I look forward to coming on line to see what you post ALL THE TIME!! I appreciate all you do I want to get to where you are and be able to help others.I'm just having a hard time trying to get through this rough patch. I'm hoping I can make it through; I was so sick this morning after I told my son fix himsef something to eat for breakfast & he replied"nah that's alright I'll save it for later when I'm hungry & we run out of food- I'll have a snack at school I can wait til then." No child should have to feel like he should have to ration his food! I'm feeing like all I've taught him about working hard was just all talk since he sees how much I have to struggle now. Thank God he wants to be an engineer (a marketable career that is in demand - someday) - thanks again dahling
