Re: It may not be as bad as I think.

I'm reserving judgement. The social worker *seemed* a whole lot more reasonable than the nurses. She says not to fight with my mother any more, that she'll do the work to get my father what he needs at home. And that she didn't think he needed twentyfour hour care. Daily yes, twentyfour hour no.

But since she also told me how it's her job to manipulate families (when talking about my Mom) I can't help wondering if what she's telling me is true. I guess time will tell.

She'll talk to my mother sometime soon. I'm holding my breath to see if I can hear the explosion from here.

Or maybe my mom will be reasonable in front of strangers (although that is certainly not her history).

Boy did it start off badly though. The social worker started out saying that it was my parent's choice in what conditions they lived as long as they were competent. I burst into tears and was getting ready to take him home.

I still don't know how this is going to turn out. And no, they didn't take his blood sugars today.
