In a nutshell the meeting was a blur. I told the SW what I did and what mum could do and she filled a lot of forms in.
I was sitting there telling this woman about my mum and it hit me. This horrid disease is taking my mum away. I know she is still my mum and I also know that all of you reading this understand. But it hit me today and apart from the SW saying she is sending someone round for an hour on a Friday for me to have time on my own as my daughter is at nursery. I don't remember anything else. I think she said instead of her assessing us for six weeks she was going to suggest a long term SW start straight away. But apart from that its a blur. Mum got very upset during it and started shouting she is not going in a home. Which we both said she was not. I calmed mum down explaining why the SW was there. Which. I had done several times that morning bless her. but she got so wound up that she was sick. My two year old played the ' I'm two therefore I can play up' card. So with all this going on and mum's illness hitting me I did not take much in. I'm hoping the long term SW is assigned soon then we can have another meeting.
