We actually had a rain free day today. Mom and I went to Dover. I think I might actually be coming around to liking the place. If only moving there wouldn't mean I'd have to get a whole new set of mental healthcare professionals.
Speaking of that, supposedly I got the casemanager I did because she's "non confrontational". Which is fine when we're one on one, but for dealing with other people
on my behalf, I need someone who is willing and able, to be assertive and pushy. But not just assertive, assertive and with an ability to get past the roadblocks, tests and beaurocracies. Because if my mother could do that, I wouldn't need a casemanager. It's not just about being assertive- it's about being
assertive while having the professional authority to demand things and get them. If you say "I'm so and so's mother and we want this done *now*" the person on the other end of the phone/other side of the desk just sighs irritably and does nothing for as long as they think they can get away with it.
As for me, I mean, no one is ever listening to what I want anyway. Today I wanted iced coffee and ended up with tea.
