And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ~Romans 12:2~

Therapy Day

Phoenix had his OT and PT today and they were both thrilled with his progress.   PT said that his hips are definitely getting better and are less stiff, and his OT was also thrilled with his arm movement.  We actually got an I on his session notes from OT. (I means improvement, normally its only SI, slight improvement.)  Tomorrow is the big leg brace day, we are to start out at him wearing them 20 minutes, then 40, then to an hour to make sure that they fit well and don't cause any blisters or sore spots.

Ok now on to a rant about how immature some people can be.  Tim was unemployed for almost 2 years and finally got a job that he "wanted" (at the time it looked better).  So now that he is working there the stupid GROWN men are making his job harder and making it seem like high school.  They are always pulling pranks, pushing his buttons and just being dumb.  What they don't realise or even care is that they are messing with not only him, but his family and children's well being.  They are trying to break him and get him fired.  How stupid is that?  Every night I have to hear how dumb these people are being and I see that it really does take a toll on my husband.  Last night I was so mad I couldn't sleep, i'd like to go up to these full grown men and rip them a new one. (that made me feel a little better)

So alas people are just people you expect something from them and they just fall short.  Some days i'd just like to be a hobbit and live underground in a hole.

  1. Is there someone your husband can talk to about it? My husband went through something similar at his last job and just quit. Then because he quit they tried to say they fired him. Um NOT true! He told them he was quitting and then finished his shift and told his CO WORKERS he had just quit, and they are his friends, so we have proof. Basically this guy on another shift kept trying to get him fired. Anyway he started his current job which he REALLY wanted and he got a crew manager who screamed at him and put him down a lot. My husband has severe anxiety about that kind of thing and was seriously losing sleep and being greatly affected by the daily verbal abuse. He finally got the courage to tell his boss and they switched him to a different crew immediately where he then got 2 raises in a week and is MUCH happier and able to perform his job MUCH better. So it might be worth looking into to see if there is something that can be done. NO ONE should have to put up with work place harassment. And yay for getting an I in therapy!!

  2. Amy-He could go to his supervisor, and is seriously thinking about it, his 90 days are almost up and there are 2 other plants that he could go to in the area where he would have the potential to move up and have a better work environment.
