"My OT came to visit and listened to me"

I suffer from chronic pain in my legs and feet.

I have spent months waiting for doctors appointments,  I was at the stage where I was just going back to bed in the  morning,  my mood was at an all time low and I very rarely left the house.

Lorna my OT came to visit and listened to me, really listened, she showed interest in what I was saying, she never judged .

Slowly over the weeks we set a plan to get me motivated to get out and to start doing things that I enjoy...meeting up with friends, a bit of gardening and small walks.

My mood has lifted and although I'm still in pain I make sure that I do something every day.

It was good to have someone who could see the all of me.
