1. The therapist gave me a worksheet to take home that covers the same ground as the therapists in the hospital did with me. I did that exercise perfectly two days after the stroke. They would know that if one of them gave me a diagnostic test like I had asked.

2. The therapist told me to move my mouth more. [...] But we also need to factor in the braces. Hello! You can see them and you can see I have a hard time with them! And someone how her suggestion came out as criticism. We are not a good match for each other.

indeed she sounds rather abrasive.

3. Then she said I was being too hard on myself.

Excuse me? Sounds like SHE's the one being too hard on YOU. i think more than anything you are frustrated, and i can totally understand that. if you are being hard on yourself it is because you have high standards... you may need to accept a slower pace, but i see nothing wrong with trying to get well. if you quit while you're behind, how could that ever help.
no shtt...
i *** HATE *** that "others got it worse than you" dealy.

I was leaving anyway, but I grabbed my purse and said, "That was not helpful." Then I started crying and made a big scene.
|
i'm glad you said that. i don't know how you feel now about the scene, but maybe it's good that you got it out... and let her know how you were affected by all this.

So I will either drop out or start back again with the internist to find a new place.

Please, don't give up. You want to get better. I want you to get better. Time is of the essence too, as hated as that is. Get with the internist to find a new place. I am wondering if you can also go through other professionals - your tdoc, pdoc... word of mouth. You need someone who knows how to be GENTLE.

'Messed up my day. I should stay in bed except for when I need to be at work.

I'm really sorry. I wish you could.
i hope you can find something soothing to do now. if not, maybe just rest. put on something cozy and soft, and climb into bed for a while and just rest, even if you do not sleep.
