Today I feel like there has been a step forward made with getting some support for my partner. He has received a letter from the brain injury unit and has been offered an appointment this thursday for an assessment. As I can't go with him, I have written a detailed letter for him to take. I wanted to give them the full picture of what I've observed and the impact on home live, and my health. My partner is known for forgetting details, playing things down. He gets a lot of information wrong, he's done it the past about himself and for me. We also had a visit from our care coordinator, she sat and had a good chat with him. He is going to join a walking group set up by Mind, and next Wednesday he will start to attend a Man in shed group, and is on the list to join another group where they work on an allotment. All these things are interests to him. He will be calm and relaxed, get to mix with people and we both get to have some space, so we both win.
I just need to find some energy from somewhere to be able to get up

Hi Angie. Rather than send the letter with him which he may forget and the assessor may not have time to read, phone up for the e-mail address of the person's secretary and e-mail the letter to her so she can pass it to him. The assessor can then read it beforehand and be up-to-date on everything you need him to know.
Hope it goes well.

Hi Jan that would be a good idea but the appointments tomorrow morning and taking into account any other appointments before my partners which is at 10am, he will be there. I have stapled the letter to his forms that he knows he has to take with him. Plus I do have to drill it into him how important the appointment is and that they have lots of information.
Thank you though xx
