I have not doing well at all. After my live-in caregiver leaves I have nowhere to go when I have checked into EVERYTHING. I have been advertising in all the right places since I found out she was leaving in January. I thought I had someone recently that I know but she never followed up. Very unlike her no matter what. So, when I say I have nowhere to go I mean that literally. I could afford a studio apartment but living in one room with my level of care will cost about $7000/month and they are not even open for tours of their place yet because of Covid-19 And it doesn't look promising for them to be able to do that by July. Even before I could move in I need an assessment done by their nurse and the people who would be doing my care needs to observe my care in my home and they agree. But everything is at a standstill.
Talk about living in fear! I'm not worried about the virus right now... I'm worried about what is to happen to me. I have only one member of my family who is coming out to learn my care in July but she has a job that she has to get back to even though she is working at home right now. I have no other family other than much older sisters and they are the ones who wanted me to move on when THEY KNEW I had absolutely nowhere to go back in 2015. I tried to stay in their area but there was not even one remotely wheelchair accessible apartment or house to move into and they were going to throw me in their local nursing home when the nursing home had been cited twice and when you contact nursing homes that tell you have to be coming from a hospital or something like that and I would die if I had to go to a nursing home because they have absolutely no idea how to take care of a quadriplegic let alone taking care of my equipment and all the supplies I need and a nice wheelchair conversion van I have along with my support dog. I was planning on sending my Support Dog to boot camp at a very well established company and the owner/trainer was supposed to pick her up a little over a week ago on a Friday but he e-mailed me on Thursday the day before saying that he woke up with a very high fever and was not feeling well at all so he was going to have to cancel for the next day. I haven't heard from him since despite me e-mailing him hoping he was feeling better. I agree with Patrick Henry who said "Give me Liberty or give me Death."
