timer lady
Queen of Hearts
that are part of kt & wm's teams. She was quite frustrated with me when I questioned something & asked something else.
I was told in no uncertain terms that "I approved everything in our last team meeting & she felt I was treated with the utmost respect & that my wishes were being honored" I was also informed that the "team" agreed on this route & took into account my concerns. Sounds like I may no longer be a part of the team.
I have to tell you I have no clue which meeting or what was discussed. So now I need accomodations to function in these quarterly meetings.
My brand new advocate (the mentor is someone else) @ the Brain Injury Association talked me through my tears of anger & frustration. She then went onto sending me a release of info to a member of the team so that my situation is taken into account. She feels the team isn't recognizing the cognitive disability along with the significant hearing loss that makes it overwhelming to attend a meeting of this sort. Additionally, she suggested I get a smartpen to record meetings.
She's contacting our mental health CM & having the accomodations needed put into writing. She wants the teams to understand the level of pain & fatigue that make it difficult at best to sit thru such long meetings. She wants me to have time to listen to the recorded meeting so I can make an educated decision - nothing on the spot. I have a quarterly staffing for wm coming up on the 15th - ick!
I got off the phone feeling a lot less frustrated & angry. A bit more optimistic that someone will advocate for me so I can do the same for the tweedles.
