What a week for you
@ally1 , and it's still only Wednesday. I'm so glad the physio was receptive to you and is referring you on inside their system.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the OTs made a massive difference to my parents' lives as they respectively became infirm. Your issues are very, very different to either of them, but the OTs are just so creative, and if you are offered a home visit, grasp it with both hands. They will have dealt with people with issues like yours before and have insights into what will help you.
Some of the things they gave Mum, she didn't think she needed, but when she got them, she tried them and realised they made things so much easier. I don't use the aids Mum had, but I stole a couple of their ideas and use them myself - things like using a steamer basket in the saucepan when cooking vegetables, meaning to drain the veg, I lift our the steamer and can pour the bouling water away when it's cooler.
I hope you have another good night's sleep tonight and you're not waiting for the OT appointment too long.
Go Ally! At long last you're getting some of the support you need.
