Hi smark25

You don't need to apologise for your grammar or spelling - there is nothing wrong with either of them. I think you have done a really good job of describing your mum's difficulties.

Mobility:
I
  • f your mother doesn't use public transport at all now - say so.
    Elaborate just a bit on the sense of dread - the possibility of an accident, how to deal with it, increased breathlessness and feelings of panic.
    Explain what caused the pain (osteoarthritis, fibro, IBS, etc) on the public transport.
    The supervision from your daughter - make it clear that this is physical support (if needed) and mental support.

Moving Around
  • Bad days - make it 4 out of seven - or they will focus on the 3.
  • Make it clear that the risk of you falling is high with your varied medical conditions

Mixing with Other people
  • Try and give them a more exact date when you started to become more isolated eg since 2015.
  • Try and give an example of what triggered the isolation. The rest of what you say is really moving and very clear.

Managing Treatments
  • Make it clear that you would not be able to do the treatment at all - you could not do it safely or consistently without help.
  • Also make it clear this treatment is not a cure all - it is only to ensure that you have some mobility - or you would be left bed bound!

  • You can say at the beginning which questions you are challenging and say that you are happy with the others.

Hope this helps.
