I know what you mean about support workers with dominant personalities, but your original reasoning was very sound. Maybe she will be able to rein in the dominance a little. It is a hard one. I am working on that with my support wkr who means well, but is very dominant.
Not being able talk medical things thru with family is tough, so you are putting yourself in the best position to make a good decision.
