It always happens on the eve of a weekend before you can do anything about it. I don't know why that happens, perhaps Murphy's Law?

I just found out late afternoon on Friday that I am on Medicaid, but that conflicts with the denial letter I got several months ago. Now I have to wait throughout the weekend to verify this, so I have been on pins and needles over this.

Understand about shared bathrooms and bedrooms and not having your privacy. I qualified for Section 8 in my county and am living in a county owned building. Could your case manager look into this for you?

I get it about food. I had to go on Meals on Wheels for the last 12 months and my AIC went from 4 to 6.8 and everything is starch so I gained 30 pounds as well. It's not the best food, but it's food and I try not to complain.... much.

Good luck tomorrow in finding out resources for you !!
