Hi,
We had a much calmer visit on Tuesday and I learned more about how to put mum to bed.
I think I could manage on my own but I am quite nervous and am double checking everything.
She's going to be measured for another type of sling which I'm happy about.
I expect the more I do it the more relaxed I'll be. The OT was lovely and I did prefer her to the social worker we had to begin with who seemed to take offence and made us suffer as a result. I feel sure the social worker influenced the OTs opinion of me as I think she'd have seen me as being difficult and unstable. It only takes one to take a dislike to you and then everyone gets their opinion only and seems to take it as gospel. Then they all sing from the same hymn sheet and you end up feeling scared and judged and feeling like you have no rights.
Scruffy.
