In-hospital and blody .

ASS-P, please listen to everyone. We wouldn't be typing in your threads if we didn't want the best for you. We're just trying to help someone who is in a really bad way but we also need your help as well, since we can't do much online.

That's why we're encouraging you to ask whoever you can about getting into a long-term care home. Whether that's a nursing home, SRO (at worst) or another place. We just want you out of shelters.

To ask another question...

1. Are you happy living like this?

Where are you now, ASS-P? Do you have any prospects for this night?

I hope he's ok.

I hope ASS-P can find some use of the 311 help number [homeless services on menu]. there comes a point where one has to be willing to surrender one's freedom of movement in order to survive in decent health. a hard choice, I know.

...Right this moment , I am in a hospital , where I am getting treatment related to the weight-ballooning caused by my Congestive Heart Failure , which I certainly have sought help for (Did I not spell that out ? Did I have to ?) in the past , + more of my situations . Yes , obviously , it removes me from the immediate depleted supplies and lack of bed-rest due to shelter schedules situation and it is certainly , a needed help but it presumably can,t last long .
As far as what I might do afterwards , I don,t know and I really wuld have to bump heads with people other than hospital people , the only people I,ve had contact with since coming inside . I will have to avail myself of hospital-supplied shoes and pants to have anything on when I leave .
It seems that , again , the discussion of me recently has been dominated by the idea that : a home : situations are available this moment (and are desireable) , and are begging me tome in right this moment ! for me to do
This is , again , NOT TRUE ! I can;
,t say what I might do , or , certainly , might be available to me , next week or whatever !

Again, the next person who comes to your room for anything, say "I need to talk to the social worker about a place to stay when i get out of here."

I think what you've said is very wise, Ashariel, and very true.

Also: very perceptive.

ASS-P values his independence very much--maybe a little too much. But it's his choice.

...KK (AND MORE) - DID YOU NOT READ MY LAST POST ?
I AM IN A HOSPITAL NOW ! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
FURTHERMORE ,IT SEEMS YOU <<<<<GREATLY>>>>> OVERESTIMATE THE AMOUNT , AND DEPTH , OF : HELP : THAT IS READILY AVAILABLE , AS WELL !

I know you're in the hospital. ASS-P. I'm talking about the future.

If you are offered some place that gives you independence and takes half your SSDI money, I'd take it.

...Iwant to lle down,go to sleep . maybe enjoy a little CNN riot coverage , but , briefly , this morning I had a social worker come/in and

indicate thhat all that was being thought of for me when I got out was a bed in the same shelter where I was ! Where someone sleeping next to me kept threatening me and calling me n****r and fa***t and whom I suspect of having stolen the stuff the last time . There is FAR , FAR , less ready TV show-type : help : than you think there is !

I understand your dilemma, ASS-P. And I believe what you say.

I just wish you could convince a social worker to put you in a place for people with chronic diseases.

I wish you could, maybe, cut your hair and shave (you're going to lambaste me for this!) and play a little nice.

It's possible they think you're just "shelter material." You want to convince them otherwise.
