If you are not into personal diaries this might not be for you.
For those that know me...BFSkinner aka Cameronprof you might recall diaries about my health and housing issues.
I think now I'm finally set and although it sounds like something bad it's actually what I need and been hoping for.
I e been in and out of the hospital a lot the last few weeks. I'd be in loads of pain and exhibiting a lot of icky sick stuff. I'd be rushed to this one hospitals er and discharged after 12 hours and told to contact my GI doc ... I did and had send me back to the ER. it was a vicious circle. Finally they sent me to a different hospital which kept me overnight and found a new major issue that was causing an interaction with my main condition thus causing everything. I was treated and am on my way to health. But I'm so weak from all the hospitals I was sent to a rehab center....and this is when the blessing occurred.
I live in an assisted living center but im overwhelmed with so many health concerns even with paying out the tuchas my needs were not being met. My doctors and nurses and social workers and psychiatrist all wanted me to move full time into a nursing home. But being at home and not getting Medicaid this was impossible.
But now I'm able to apply, once my rehab days are done, for this different medicaid program that together with my insurance will pay for my whole long term stay here.
Is living in a nursing home ideal? No but it's what I need. The place I'm at I've been to rehab here before and they know me and treat me well. It's the first time in years that I feel safe. So next month, G-d willing, I'll get the final ok and live here long term and not have to worry about a lot of the stuff I worry about.
So I'm happy, content and safe...I just hope I'm approved and everything gets approved.
