What to Say to the Doctor
Just figured out what I'm going to say - trying to keep Mum involved and in the conversation, and yet convey what I think is wrong and needs doing. Will the doctor get it? Haven't met him yet. When I saw her yesterday Mum asked was I going to talk to the doctor about "moving me out of here" - her home. Where did that come from? Her biggest fear I guess. "No, no" I tried to reassure -" I'm trying to see what help we might need to keep you here". That won't make sense to her though - she thinks everything is fine and she doesn't need any help. One of the latest changes is she only goes shopping when she's down to her last piece of bread - then is eating biscuits. Doesn't see it as a problem...
