Okay, I have lots going on. Not sure when that doesn't happen.

1. I'm worried about what is going on at the Vet Clinic Derrick works at.
A. First I thought things were good. And it kind of stinks the way things
were laid at our laps. But I just don't know what to think or do.
B. Second, He has a Job Coach, that has kind of let things go. Because the clinic has just said, Derrick is great we love him. They used to act like there were no problems.

C. Job Coach, is on vacation of course during summer. And a bomb was
dropped last Wednesday. But many things said, not sure what was true,
and what was not.
1. First learned that Derrick spends to much time in bathroom.
a. This is true, but not just there. Everywhere, its getting worse,
Can be 20 minutes in a restaurant bathroom or store even.
Because of work statement, I talked him into starting fiber pills, and
I've bought stool softener too. (Anyone know if its okay to give both)

2. Doc says, Girls(Nurses) Find him standing, or sitting around. This doesn't exactly make sense. Because they have always said, he is a hard worker and wont take a break. Used to be they had to make him slow down.

A. When I took Pigglett, for her surgery. I got a chance to talk to the nurse that has always dealt the most with Derrick. She is usually his trainer.
She told me, that if she catches him standing around, she ask why. And he tells, and it always makes sense. But the other girls, say they don't have time. And the doc told me when she finds him standing around she doesn't ask. But I realize she doesn't have time. But what she quoted me, was almost exactly what Amanda, told me the other main nurse told her. And this nurse is the one that told me, when school started they probably wouldn't have the work for Derrick. They are needing two nurses all the time.

It turns out that they are training a new nurse to take Amanda's place when
she goes on Maternity leave the middle of August. Which means that the
girl that has gotten Derrick in trouble with many people will be there two or
three days. And a new nurse, So I'm wondering if the doc, is not sure what
to do with Derrick.


My thoughts are that if the Main nurse that always causes problems, for Derrick. Is going to be there with him. And they can't put a girl there that
can handle his disability, were they can't just say to him. Memorize the list of things to do. And don't come look at it again.

Sorry, but Derrick hasn't got the capacity to memorize. His memory is better with no seizures. And the med reductions. But its not that good.
I also wonder how they are writing the list. Amanda was well aware of his reading ability. And I'm guessing read the list to him, made sure he understood it. THe other girl, I'm guessing isn't understanding this.

I'm thinking the doc, is not sure how to handle what is coming.


Derrick, did tell me one of the girls he used to work with is on Vacation this summer. And the Doc, told him at one point. That she might have to have
her work with him. So maybe I really messed up things.

I just hope I don't end up getting him let go. This is and has been his dream
job. How do I go about fixing the mess I set up.


Yes, this is long. And since I ramble I'm sure its a ramble.
Try to read through and if you have to do sections. But please help me.
