rz, the last thing that I need now is criticism.
Yes, I have spent hours over days and weeks calling agencies and organizations, but all the effort that I made failed to produce a usable result.
On top of the difficulty I've had finding a decent place to live, I have ended up back in the hospital a number of times.
Most recently, when Mavis picked me up from dialysis I managed to walk to the car, sat down and then I have no recollection of what happened next. Mavis told me that as soon as I was seated in the car I began to shake violently. Realizing that something was wrong, she drove me to the hospital. My next recollection was the next day! I was told that I came in with a 103° fever due to pneumonia and a common cold. The entire period from sitting down in the car was a total blank. I have been in the hospital since.
What you may not realize is how very difficult it is for me to find a place to stay and to deal with moving all of my "things" into a suitable place. I can't drive myself to the condo. I can't manage to pack up everything to move it all by myself, especially since I am still dealing with the impairment resulting from my hospital stay. There's so much to do that I just cannot do by myself alone.
It's been suggested that there may be volunteer resources that could fill the gaps in what I need to accomplish, such as moving my possessions out of the condo. I will have to make calls to see if I can find what I need.
In the meantime I am having difficulty with my discharge from the hospital. The case manager never came to see me about where I am supposed to go, until late in the day.
I have to deal with this, so I will continue working on the next steps once my immediate needs are in place.
I've said it before, I am feeling very overwhelmed by what is happening.
