Well today was the day and I think it went well. L is very nice and she had a calm, relaxed and respectful manner. Alan was more agitated than ever before her arrival even to the point that I had to come out of a counselling session to settle him down. This has never happened before
Alan kept wanting me to be there and it was probably because he doesn't know what is expected of him. I don't think he understands why she is there. I think he will just get used to it over time and hope that it just becomes a way of life.
As for me, I used part of the time to work and the rest to prepare lunch, do some things on the computer and just to chill. It was odd, not knowing what the rules are so to speak. It was odd for me so it was bound to be odd for Alan. The only thing is that I will be able to work things out with L but Alan won't be able to voice his concerns so easily (if at all).
Alan seems much happier now that she's gone and he is more relaxed and self-motivated. Perhaps this is a good thing that has come out of his ordeal this morning - I hope so.
I realised Alan's appointment with the Neurological Consultant is tomorrow morning and I decided to cancel it. The consultant has only seen Alan once and that was traumatic for Alan because he couldn't answer any of the questions. The consultant already told us there is nothing that can be done and he was the one who took nearly a year to inform us of the results of all the scans. We haven't seen him since that first assessment about a year ago. I cancelled because I thought it would be too much for Alan with the eye appointments, the sitting service etc. and felt that Alan would lose more than he could possibly gain. I have re-arranged it for sometime in November.
Love
