More On Where Things Are Now.

As I said, in a group home in Detroit I'd be horribly neglected and abused. At Sinai-Grace recently, they didn't have anything to meet my needs due to Cerebral Palsy. Cleaning needs and catheters for my bladder. Not even the special stool I use now when I shower due to my new mobility needs, anywhere in the hospital. And I'd forever lose all contact with the outside world there too.
But you know, I have been doing better with spending now. I actually have developed a new system to curb my spending within just the past couple of days. I have to refine it, because I came up with it quickly. And I have to carefully think it thru. I really didn't have the time as I said. But it might work. There's a lot of other things to consider in my situation too. Life is just very expensive to begin with. My former case manager at that new place said they'd help me get food stamps. That would be something to consider. We actually considered that in 1991 when I first went on SSI. (I would still like to buy alcohol occasionally, it is an enjoyable part of my life. But that could be handled with the money already there for me.) I also have already started buying expired food regularly, anyone who sees my debit card statement would notice. And for needs like clothing and furniture, I can just buy at a thrift store. (I need a frying pan right now. I think I might get that at a thrift store I go to.)
I was hoping Eric would hire someone to help me clean, especially with the beginning of the mobility issues that I have now brought on by years of damage. I can handle it now, but I don't know what the future holds. But I guess if Eric is allowed to leave, that won't ever be an option again. But a car is a must. For my safety, for my well-being, for quality of life, for my medical consent. Literally for everything, the list is too long. I was hoping Eric again would buy me one with the latest safety and accessibility features. But again I guess that won't ever be an option. And my dental health is in a horrible condition. But I guess there's not much that can be done about that, especially at my present age. But a group home is simply not an option. Not even remotely or under any circumstances. I just asked my financial advisor to call Eric and tell him that my spending is under control. Especially in the past couple of days when I have been working on a radical new plan like I said. (Just to make clear on the car issue, I meant Eric buying me a very nice car would probably never be an option again. A used one might be acceptable. Or maybe if that is always given status as a top priority that should never be a problem. Always having one, I mean.)
