Thank you Canary and everyone
Good News!
I had a quick chat with the duty GP tonight a paramedic -a referral has been to the mental health team (or similar) as well as safeguardimg by the GP who spoke to Mum today. It’s going to take a while but I don’t care.
I have to do my bit though which I’m more thsn pleased to do.
I’ve got to get mum eating as she’s too frail so she might accept meals being delivered one day. So im bringing a couple of ready made meals (one’s i know she likes) and leave them by the micro and If she eats them then progress. The other is getting some washing done for her so I’m pretending my machines broken and can I use hers and then shove some clothes for her.
its babysteps towards her accepting help.
i’m over the moon.
Lesson Learnt be gentle with my mum and tough with doctors.

Oh that is good news ?
Excellent therapeutic untruths - you are getting the hang of this, arnt you?
Watch out for the ready meal, though. She might have forgotten how to use the microwave.
Hello Canary
thanks for the heads up over the microwave - I haven’t seen mum use it for a while.
I was reading your experience with your Mum it seems you went through a lot to get help for her and you kept your promise.
How did you get in to your Mum’s home when she refused to open the door to carers and you?
My Mum leaves her key in the front door so i/we are reliant on her either answering the phone or waiting to be let in. but there is a key safe outside with a key in. Her tv is on full volume so she can’t hear the door or phone.
The back door is permanently locked.
