A day with the TSS

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone....just was so mad that I had to share my story....

My son has a TSS (therapeutic staff support)...a person who works

with my son on some of his issues...gets him out in the

community...etc.etcc

Well, my son is all excited...he says he is going out for the day

with his TSS...they are going to lunch and to the batting cages....he

says they are going to scranton....asks me how far that is blah blah.

Now I asked him to come at 10:30 am because I have to go to get a cat

scan...no problem...get my son up ...rush around, take the dogs

out....no TSS...so my son calls him...he is on his way ...in fact, he

says just wait outside and he'll pick him right up...it is now

10:45 ..10:50. So he pulls in and tells me they are going to

town, eat lunch and maybe the movies...but they'll be back by 2.

Hmmmmmmm!??/ Takes 45 min. to get to town,...and 45 min.

back ....okay...so they leave...my son calls me at noon..they are at

the mall...wow they added on. So, I am thinking i have time...I do my

errands. Took longer ...I go into A.C. 's needs some wire for

beading...let me call them...oh, they are on 33 by the theatre..oh, I

am thinking they are going to the movies...no they are on their way

home...so I speak to the TSS and he acts all nervous that I won't be

home when they get there. I said I am on my way...I get home at

2:05 ...they are there...finally at 2:30 he drops my son off and

takes off. He calls me from his cell and tells me how good my son

was. Well, my son goes in the 'hang out " room and looks depressed. I

ask if something is wrong...no....later I go in..he still looks bored

and depressed...I said what is the matter..no one around...NO....so I

leave him alone as he seems not to want to be bothered....so I am

beading and the next thing I know he crawls in the room and crawls

onto my bed and lays there next to me....I look at him and say...come

on it is okay...you can talk to me.....then he opens up...

we went to the mall and all we did is go to 2 stores that he wanted

to go to...I said what 2 stores...he says the tuxedo store....because

3 of the guys forgot to return the ties (he just got married) and the

the Apple store ...he wanted them to download something onto his

apple phone...and then they went to a FYE (CD music store)...and then

they came home. I said I thought you were going out to eat...he said

we went thru Burger Kings' drive thru....

My son who is always forgetful...had taken his bat and glove without

even being told...he remembered all on his own....

Now isnt' that something...here the guy was suppose to be helping my

son instead my son comes home even more depressed. He told the BSC

(case manager) yeah he took me to do his errands. Nice huh??? And he

gets paid for that!!!

Boy am I going to call the director tomorrow at 9 am

Am I right or what? Boy our kids get slammed in more than one way!!!
