Getting the Report

Well we got the swallowing report, and while it is rather long, it is also, in many ways, impractical. And that seems to be the problem I have with these so called professionals. I mean to begin with, it isn't like they are cheap, not at a $110 an hour.

Now, granted, a lot of what is recommended, is just plain old common sense, which makes me wonder, about why we ignore that sense so much, in our daily lives.

I mean, sitting up straight, is just plain old common sense, but perhaps the report shouldn't just point out the obvious, but offer solutions for when a person seems to slouch, or tilt more than they should. I mean, Mom is 92, and for some odd reason, she does lean to one side, which could be indicative of having a stroke, or could be something else, like maybe a mis-aligned spine, sore hip?

The Medical Profession takes delight, in being obtuse, it seems, when really, isn't there sole purpose to help, not hinder? I mean why all the mystery, why all the unsaid things? Not everyone fits one size, so surely how one deals with everyday tasks, like swallowing, should be taken in a more individual sense?

The report is interesting, and the discussion was too, but at the end of it all, it just doesn't seem like it will accomplish much. I mean we will try to implement what we can, but some of it, just isn't feasible. Odd, you pay for something, but, you really are still in the dark.
