Oh dear. That sounds dangerous!

@kdfrawg Considering that several times her treatments have been postponed to allow her immune system to pick up a bit, they have a point. I think that’s her decision, though.

@kdfrawg I understand that one of the problems with getting assessments for people with PSP is that the assessors don’t know anything about the disease, so they can easily misinterpret things. I think part of my role is to feed them the information they need without setting their backs up.

No, she shouldn’t, but I think she wants to keep doing normal things as much as she possibly can. Tough times all round.

Yes, it’s good that you can all be there.

I’m heading back to my parents’ on Monday. Apparently the ward staff chased my sister in law away when she & my brother called in to see my father after her chemo yesterday — they said she shouldn’t be hanging around all those germs.

I was just wondering how you and he were doing. Sounds as if he’s spending his time well. :)

@kdfrawg There is a section for saying if someone is answering on behalf of the patient, and whether the patient knows they're doing so.

I could do that, but I’d guess that the people doing the assessment are used to assessing the people the form is designed to address, so I think the best thing is for me to explain why the question is not applicable.

When life gets too horrid, we’ll avoid it by sending one another files to format and reformat.

When I get word docs, I forward them to Mr I to convert to pdf, because I don’t have Word & Pages doesn’t always get the layout quite right — you can end up with the page breaks a bit off. I’ll fill it in & send a pdf back to them.
