One more thing switching to a different psychologist at the same clinic does not change what’s already written in your medical record. You may be able to change but the other counselor will have access to the notes if it’s in the same clinic. You are also within your rights to request a copy of your medical record which they have to provide to you unless they can prove it would be harmful to your well-being and make copies available within 30 days in the United States. I absolutely hate that the medical system is for profit in this country.

I am not sure where on the spectrum you fell. The psychological role is limited to rational expectations, ability to follow steps and fair judgement you could ask the surgeon if an outside Psych could be used. It is a way the clinic mitigates liability. If the psych has no training or experience with autism then the psych is practicing outside expertise You would be well within your rights to ask that particularpsych to obtain a consultation. Failure to do so may be considered malpractice or negligence on the psych part. An argument could be made that some individuals on the spectrum would have an increased rigid adherence to the rules because of a need structure. I would not worry too much about the tearful moment - The power and balance is real and for a very brief time you saw a future you’ve worked hard to reach taken away from you. Take some breaths refocus and meet again. Having an advocate within the room is totally acceptable this is something you are contracting for and short this person is working for you to help you reach success. Try reframing it so you can take the power back and meet the requirement to be able to follow a plan.

My BP after the surgery has been normal with the medication. The Docs are afraid to take me off of the meds for fear that it would go up again. They want to wait a few months to see if it drops some more. With my weight loss stalled, I don't think I will be getting off the BP Meds any time soon this year.

So Lynda do let us know if September 20th turns out to be your Go Home Day. And stay strong- I believe you will find your new kind of Okay out of all this brouhaha. Love and a Hug to be delivered when you're less sore, at least virtually----- Frustr8

Sorry it makes you uncomfortable to read about an issue I was concerned about. I figured it sounded better and than using the words squirt or gush odor. I wanted to see if anyone else probably had this issue that embarrassed me when it happened. There was jo warning in the reading materials we were given before surgery.

This is sooo good! I’m in my puree phase and found this to be so refreshing.

You could make carrot soup. It’s very yummy
