[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 126371, member: 1991"] I made my biopsy appointment, and the time they gave me means I have to cancel this week's session. About having someone else here instead - not permitted. I've been able to bend the rules, such as when one of my kids was home when the cleaner arrived, because I was at the local doctor's, but they're not supposed to be here if I'm not here. The whole idea is, they're working for someone with a disability who cannot do enough for themselves. I've had these agency cleaners in the past who simply waited outside until I got home from dropping kids off to school or wherever. When he's next here I'm going to keep myself busy in another room. The trouble is, I do need help with cooking tasks (I need strong hands to stir the pots) and that needs me there on the spot - I'm getting ingredients thrown into the pots at the right time, he's stirring or crushing garlic or peeling vegetables of whatever. But I can disengage by simply talking constantly about what I'm cooking. I can also send him to clean the bathroom, his forte, although he's even doing badly there. A lot better than when he first started - he cleaned my bathroom all right - he hosed it out! I had a drawer full of ornamental soaps which got soaked and were sitting in water (I discovered it after he'd left) and it took me aged to clean up the mess he left. He's slipping back to that standard again, at times sitting with head in hands saying he feels too sick to work... and then miraculously recovering minutes later. Bizarre. I've yet to ring him to cancel Thursday - shouldn't be a problem though. He goes to mother in law's tomorrow, she knows he's been a bit more weird than usual but knows nothing of his indecent exposure stuff. I'll find out how he was after he's finished his shift there tomorrow. Marg [/QUOTE]
