I was weighed earlier this nite and my 5'o9" frame is up to 318 pounds or so! 
The last time I was weighed before that, I 5-ish?? days , is capable of giving meago, I was " only " 309 pounds or so. So I've been GAINING weight, with my CHF and, apparently, liver problems 
Maybe 2 months back I had lost a lot of weight; was 240-ish/250 or so. But the CHF weight gain came back , I will go to the hospital with the new day, I guess to try and be admitted there, I need intended weight-loss help than this place, the rehab place, can peovide; medical staff here suggested I go to the hospital. I do think it's likely nessecary, I was complaining how the staff here seemed to not deal sufficiently deal with the CHF weight gain .

...Going to the bathroom this ayem, I had to get help from a nurse to get up from a seated position on the toilet (Barefoot, with wetness on the floor, and my hands wet & soaped up,)

...Now, supposedly, the hospital has been called and they're coming to get me - I lost another draft of this to this machine's eccentricities, unfortunately .

...OK, really briefly...I am in the hospital now. I was admitted.
Obviously, my massive bloating up WAS judged as worthy of medical attention.
I didn't post for a while + something I wkn' t go into now threw me off - But. anyway, I am in l'hospital not the rehab place, now.

...Now, Red Robin, I'll talk about that idea of getting a letter from the homeless mail place so I can get a credit union account + card.
Since I'm in the hospital, not the rehab place, I'm putting it in the past tense.
Yeah, I was supposed to go to the HL mail drop and get a letter from them stating that I got mail there and it was okay. The HL mail drop is open M-F; 10-2, IIRC. From the rehab, it took 2 buses to get there, with getting to the Metro Center by 1ish necessary, I guess, to get the bus that reaches there at 1 or so.

...Oresumably, I could get such a letter if I showed up 10-2, but that's a presumption. Now, at the rehab place, remember, my going out really was sneaking out. In my roomspace 22-up hours a day there, I tended to be up for much of the swing shift hours, then, tending to doze off. in the more " normal " early morning, also getting much of my medicine and breakfast and the rebandaging of my wounded foot.
If I left, I'd go after that - but switching to clothes for outside would take a lot of time - and I'd maybe tired aboug after the change that I'd need to rest a little bit.
I really was affe cred my my crippled-Ness, especially with the weight so massively ballooning ewcently . And then, even once I got going - I was walking pretty slowly recently It has, partly, will power keeping me going .

...Thank you. It should be pointed out that, though I snuck out from the rehab, I did not do it evety day, the majority of days, I guess, I stayed there, I did not go out the majority of days.
Briefly, after I am released from this hospital, I guess I'll go back to the rehab, especially with a factor that I don't want to go into now.
I don't want to be at the rehab forever, though! 
edrobin62"]Sorry about your medical troubles. I'm sure your being in a hospital at this time is the best idea and hope you make a speedy recovery. The credit union, good to know, isn't going anywhere.[/quote]

...I don't feel like outlining it now, but it's possible that , not only might I be thrown out of the rehab place, but, if Worse Comes To Worst, ALL the clothes, books, etc. I left behind will be thrown away . We'll see.

. We'll see.That's really horrible that these places keep throwing out your stuff. Can you call and ask them to hold your stuff so you can pick it up when you are able to? There really should be more storage lockers for individuals in your situation.

So I've been GAINING weight, with my CHF and, apparently, liver problems Maybe 2 months back I had lost a lot of weight; was 240-ish/250 or so.

I do think it's likely nessecary, I was complaining how the staff here seemed to not deal sufficiently deal with the CHF weight gain .Well I advise you actually stay there for treatment instead of leaving and then posting a thread about how no one will help you. If a hospital is going to treat you, stay there for them to treat you...don't run off to collect items or Social security money or whatever, stay there till they can help...don't just run off because you have more important things to do...your health is important. Seriously, stay put and let them help you for f***s sake....I recall past posts of yours about getting into a hospital, and then just leaving before they can treat you so yeah stick around this time and maybe they can help your medical issues.

Or maybe instead of just randomly leaving he should inform someone in charge of the shelter like 'hey I need to leave to do this or that, can I safely leave my stuff here or no?' From some of his posts sounds like he randomly just leaves shelters and hospitals where he is getting help without telling anyone....if a homeless person just leaves all their stuff and doesn't return for a night or a few days they may assume they aren't coming back and throw out stuff so someone else can stay there. Its not a home you cant just leave stuff indefinitely while disappearing from the premise.

...People such as you greatly overestimate what institutions will do for you, perhaps you see too many TV dramas about dedicated social workers.who do everything and think that's reality! You feel that I should abandon my SSDI money? When I have already lost the far less important mineral royalties by not picking them up ?
I have not left places for " a few days ".
I get hounded at by people here that I must not, ever, ask for (non-financial) help from anyone, but I also must not do anything myself, I must wait for some Great Social Worker who will - uh huh - do everything for me.
Most of you likely have more help around for you than I have .

...Even when I have gone out, it has not been every day, as I said, and there's weekends and holidays...and as I've tried to outline, my physical state makes me, often, exhausted and slow-moving ! !! !! !! !!

.I think Sweetleaf was mainly saying you should stay put in the hospital until you're officially released. But I hear what you're saying as well.

...Regarding my stuff - When I prepared to come here, I packed my clothes and books " to keep " in my backpack and rucksack. Briefly, the ambulance people who brought me here did not want to bring the pack'n'sack, and LIED TO ME about putting the pack'n'sack in the vehicle and bring it here! They lied to me!
I even had rather light, bedclothes, on when I came here; which were substituted with a hospital gown here - I.imagine even those clothes I came in could've been thrown away once they were off me here .
There is apparently a " seven-day saving " of my place at the rehab place. I rather translate that as meaning that, after seven days, my things could be thrown away (or packed away somewhere where they might just as well be). if WCTW. Right now-now, too, I do have this phone - but NO reading matter!
When I Was weighed this last day, I essentially had lost no weight at all, 317 down from 318 or such, on my second day here .
