Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 next week I am getting a hold of my DHS caseworker about handicapped accessible housing - the problem is the list is long and they are not always in a safe neighborhood Grace's attitude is help out more or find other arrangements - if I leave here I do not have a car - the bus system sucks and I can't handle groceries or things like that one step at a time Grace will do and say what she wants - she refuses to wear a hearing aid - she can't hear God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Is there no way to make her understand the seriousness of the situation? She needs to take care for her safety and if she refuses a simple cane, then maybe explaining to her what the alternative solutions might be would be enough to make her think twice about a cane. For her to think that you are fine while in reality you are sick is unfair and outright disrespectful.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 oh yes! I forgot that you were living in her home--not so easy in that situation. I know that handicapped accessible housing is not a great option for you, but would at least be better than what you're dealing with now? What other solutions could he find to this problem?

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 This really sounds like a great relief for you, . As you say, it will be an adjustment for the girls, but children are resilient.

Interestingly, I felt like a whole load of stress was taken off of my chest. I told the girls yesterday that be would be moving in with their dad and while they were upset about it [obviously] they are also excited about the idea of moving the toys and furniture over there. Surprisingly, he has more than risen to the occasion so far. He's been staying in my condo with the girls so as to not have to overly traumatized them. he has taken them to the library storytimes and is becoming more involved in their education. I'm holding onto the lease until 1 May, so we plan on moving throughout the month of April. The girls will be visiting me regularly and I hope to be able to go over there twice a week to help them with some of their education.It will be a huge adjustment for all of us but for the kids, I think that this is in their best interest--though not one that I exactly like. I had been questioning my ability to parent for the past few months, so in a way, that problem has solved itself.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 SO sorry, ! I hope the new arrangements are best and most helpful for all. Prayers. in WY Practical Blackwork Designs http://practicalblackwork.com http://practical-blackwork.blogspot.com " You get a wonderful view from the point of no return... " an update now that my dictation software is working properly on a laptop with Internet action, I can finally let you guys know what's going on. Sometime in January, I noticed that transfers and rolling around in bed getting difficult. I didn't pay any attention to it since it is normal for things to get difficult, that easier, is difficult to get. It seems to mean the end and flow of people with these kinds of diseases. When I went to see my neurologist for a follow-up appointment I was able to tell that I have been doing much better but for this particular day I felt kind of bad. I chalked it up to just having an off day. Two days later, I found no longer able to mobilize in bed or transferred to my chair using transfer board method. Needless to say, when home care came, I was too difficult to assist so an ambulance was called and was transported to the hospital on February 12. I've been here since under assessment and it was decided last week (and also became my own conclusion) that I be placed in long-term care. The girls will be going to stay with her dad, which I now think works well, since my time with them will be a better quality.
