I will also add that when I was working as an OT we were always a little wary of anything like homemade cookies if he didn't have excellent reason to think that the things were made in a clean, safe environment. A lot of the time they weren't and if we were even suspicious they weren't they were slowly shuffled to the trash. We were always appreciative of the motive and the work that went into them, but well, I've been in a lot of patients' homes over many years and a large portion of them are places you do not want to eat and you can't always tell from looking at them. (Side story: Once I was off sick and someone filled in for me who didn't have a lick of sense. This was home health. The home was filthy and the kitchen just as bad as the rest. It was 2 hoarders with very little motivation to keep the kitchen or anything else sanitary. The patient loved to cook and my substitute wrote a goal for him to prepare me a meal. Fortunately there was a weird dr thing and I stopped seeing him before that happened because he wanted to make something with fish and it was like food poisoning on a plate waiting to happen. I really felt like the author of that goal should come down for cooking day..... ).

Anyway, it's nice of you to think of your therapist and I know they'd appreciate knowing that.
