New Helper Found!!!!

My daughter surprised me and brought this new person up tonight and said let’s do it!! I found this wonderful kind experienced Social Worker thru our Aging Services who I have called off and on for info. She offers a paid 90 minute consultation and will do that on the subject of me living in a place with helpers. It costs 135 dollars. This is not a problem for my daughter. She said schedule soon. Kara also said we could get services from her generally beyond that. Having her involved would make me safer as much as that can be when I really don’t have a doctor who is good and caring to do over site right now. I am grateful I have the last 2 years of yearly assessments by my last really good caseworker who retired. She was brilliant and so caring. On another subject I just learned the CDC is replacing the current Pain Management guidelines with one that is actually compassionate and gives doctors more control again over medication choices even opioids. Thank Heaven. Sculptor44

The fact and support even if long distance from Mayo Clinic and my interactions over last year is going to help. I didn’t have that when last in hospital and discharged unable to stand which is why I went to ER. While getting back there is cru Ian to my quality of life my daughter is still refusing. I am chowing some records to send to new Neurologist up there so he understands me better. If this new person takes some stress off my daughter I hope she realizes I need to go to Mayo. At same time I need to get Mayo to understand this body is totally unable to do a 3 visit of walking talking at Mayo. The pulmo there I collapsed in front of is gone. It amazes me that unless they see it they don’t believe it is too often true. Sculptor 44

New helper started 2 days ago.. While it is difficult to say , to believe I do think she is capable of really changing our Circumstances. Daughter and I sat with her and did the first part of a detailed conversation on our status. I signed releases at end so she can have access to important information, important agencies like my impotent Medicaid provider. She is a social worker with 15 years of experience in this state. Even getting me back up to Mayo Clinic came up and she said since it was done in 2016 it should be possible to get the same help now. We will meet again of course. I am deeply fortunate my daughter can private pay for this. Sculptor 44

As an update on new helper she didn’t do what I was hoping for or my daughter hoped. She was supposed to at least help me get moved to a place with more support services. That didn’t happen and I think she may have been partially responsible for how much this place did NOT know about my health status. I hoped perhaps she would help me get back to Mayo Clinic where things are so much kinder for me. Just recently My old Health caseworker sent me a message. It was a MUCH needed surprise. She took me to ER on March 19 th. I was in bad bad shape. My Vitamin D deficiency is raging out of Control cause of Winter and living at this facility. I so so Need SUN!!! I started meal in my room this week cause too weak to get to dining room. Sculptor 44
