Get Ready 4 Some BullS$ News!
10 am Saturday I'm being evicted from Hillcrest of North Dallas rehab facility because they state that I'm capable of feeding myself, dressing myself, wiping my ass and washing myself.
WHAT A BIG FREAKING JOKE!
I CANT DO ANY OF THAT AT ALL!
I went to my orthopedic doctor yesterday and I got my cast changed into a mechanical brace with my elbow locked at 90 degrees. I had X-rays done and the doctor took meticulous time to form this brace around my arm and the last thing he stated to me was; "if I don't keep that elbow and arm passively at my side and let that elbow heal with the screws and plates, I could lose my arm with amputation". Just the thought of having my only good arm that has taken me through 50 years of life is now at the threat of being amputated really hit home. And then the nursing home wanting to put me out on the street 2 days after.
So what's going to happen tomorrow morning is I'm going to have to call 911 again have an ambulance come to this facility and pick me up and take me back to Texas Health. I know Texas Health won't like it but they have to take me in at least because of the weekend and then try to get me something set up during the week but at least I will be in great hands.
The hospital stays are expensive I think from what I've seen build so far $8,000 a day I was built $30,000 for my four days at Baylor Scott before they put me on the street, I haven't seen the 10-day bill for Texas Health but I know it's going to be pretty high. So this game is I don't even have a place to go to here in Texas and it's looking like I don't have a place to go to in Illinois either so and that's where all my stuff is in storage in Illinois so I don't know what I'm going to do I'm trying to get into long-term care and that's probably what's going to end up happening with me so that's my story I tried to do an appeal yesterday they called me an hour ago and told me that they denied my appeal. I went for another extra appeal I don't know if I'll get an answer tonight or before 10:00 a.m. in the morning I'm not counting on that. But I am counting on calling 911 to get me off the street a second time.
Blow our pictures of my arm after the cast came off you can see the open wound I need daily care I'm not going to get that back they didn't even take care of it today here on the doctor said the bandage has to be changed every day and dressed so so far I'm not getting the care that I need I just don't know what to do. All I've been doing since I got here was sit here and cry all day and all night because I'm alone. The scare of losing my only arm means that I'll be stuck in a lawn care facility until I decide to call it quits cuz I can't handle that I'm lost, I'm hurting and I have no one to talk to and now I'm scared. Little did I know that saving my skull was going to make me lose my arm and the facilities just don't care.
