Not exactly a vent, more a puzzled enquiry. My LAC has sent me a letter detailing a community connection plan. It all looks like what we talked about at our meeting, and I have no problem with it.

What’s odd is that it quotes an NDIS number. I have yet to hear from the NDIA about my support plan. I’m assuming I’ve been accepted if I have a number, but I’ve been given no details. I’ve not had the SMS/Planner phone call other redditers have mentioned.

Who should I be chasing up? My LAC said my application is with the NDIS and it’s only been a few weeks since it was lodged, so I’m not unduly worried yet. Advice welcome!

EDIT: Thanks to those who responded. I have a clearer idea of what’s happening now.

I had DBS nearly 7 months ago and my neurosurgeon favoured the shave-the-whole-head approach. No real complaints from this end. It’s healed nicely enough and no infections. I’ve never been obsessed with how I look but it’s still a very interesting experience being a bald woman at 62. Once you get past the ‘no I don’t have cancer’ response, deciding how much to say about the DBS experience without disconcerting the person you’re talking to is a balancing act.

Now my hair has grown back - same colour as it was pre-surgery, which is a bonus. But I’ll need a cut soon. Does anyone know a hairdresser used to dealing with DBS? Or have other advice? I live in Melbourne, Australia.
