The new Social worker's coming tomorrow 2 do the review 4 my hours and care plan, so which us luck on getting more than 29 and a half hrs; i've cum 2 the conclusion if i loose direct payments its not the end of the world. As i've still got Aidan and my friends, at the end of the day thats all that matters; ok i won't have as much choice of who i get 2 do my care. But at least i will still have my independence and i won't have the worry of social services being on my back every month, cos the audits aren't in on time; u might think i'm giving up but i promiss u that i'm not. I wud just rather loose direct payments than Aidan, as this has put alot of stress on both of us.
