Okay so I'm outta here on Monday, so my Tibetan lady Physical Therapist who I regard as a friend, told me to get in contact with Social Services. Fortuitously said person showed up to ask where I would be going and said they would provide an ambulette plus two gorillas to carry me up the 2 flights of stairs to Tamars apartment.
Now I won't last very long in there so its a stopover until I can get a ride down to Painter, Virginia, ASAP never mind what a deserted home with no power looks like after 4 months! I imagine it'll be full of mice and I may need a moggy to help, dogs aren't fair to them since I cannot walk them any more.
I know we'll find two fridge/freezers full of rotting food, I can just imagine the smell, best plan is to chuck them away and get one new one, only small now since the two of us don't need the old ones. Walmart will be my friend there I hope.
The main difficulty is trying to locate the necessary help and in the case of the clearing out, afford it. However I plan to contact VA's Soc. Services who should be motivated by my non functional state to do something if they don't want my death on their record.
I only get 800 per month S.S. so I can't be too optimistic as regards spending money like water.So my priorities are:-
1. Find some way to get from NY to VA (a 6 hour drive)
2. Obtain a power scooter/chair
3. Get a carpenter to replace five steps up to house with an inclined ramp.
