Am finally admitting that it's all too overwhelming trying to fit in enough therapy for DS (17 months / gdd). How do you make it work whilst also doing some part time work at home, do things for fun and just live / keep on top of cleaning, do some exercise so you don't end up like the unfit blob I have become / cook / have a personal life and so the list goes on.
I've finally found a good private OT so DS is now starting to play with toys, still looking for a decent private physio as still not weight bearing but in the meantime also seeing NHS OT/PT and weekly portage, as well as the regular hospital appointments - you know the drill.
I am spread too thinly trying to do it all so not doing any of it very well, how do you guys fit it in? I can just manage getting him to each appointment, but then transferring that into every day life I just can't seem to crack. Do you have set times in the day? How do you manage to do all the therapies when your DC has so many areas that need addressing?
And don't get me started on spending forever doing the DLA form online only for it to crash the day before it was due.......... I do now have a paper form sitting looking at me.
Can you just give me the kick up the bum to just suck it up, try harder and know that it will (might) get easier.
Does the mumsnet mantra of 'this too shall pass' ever become applicable?
