Amber, fight it like hell. They denied me twice before I got a lawyer. Took me 1 1/2 years to win, but I did. They denied me on a 5 min Dr check up they schedualed, and I fought that too. He asked me to do a bit of general math, who is the president and what are these things on the flash cards. Pissed me off but had a good Dr who worked with my attorney. Fight it.

(((JAX))) haven't seen you around, have any ice cream left or extra in the freezer

(((Marie))) miss you here

Sorry guys, have been laying low, seems like the sky has been falling on my head and I am not handling it too well. Still upset over my initial rant, again sorry for ranting that day, but things are about the same, but trying to figure a solution out to the issue and hoping I may have come up with some way to deal with it. Wish I could go into details but I really can't, I am just so frustrated over it, but hope my "solution" will help the problem.

Then today, the icing on the cake. Late last year had an Adult Protective Services complaint filed on me for getting behind on my dad's nursing home bill, long story, but anyways, my name was on his checking account and I took some money out to pay some bills, I put most of it back but not all. So the nursing home filed the complaint against me. Got a letter today I was found guilty of "Exploitation" - using my dad's money. Yeah, to pay his freaking bills, and I told the investigator that. That was at the time he had a travel trailer behind the house and was renting it, he got the rent money and I paid all the utilities, the insurance, repairs, his cell phone, buy his dinner Friday nights and Saturday and Sunday morning because he wants to eat out (about $75 week), clothing, hygiene needs he wants, it goes on and on, and now they are saying I was ripping him off. I was drowning in bills because of the trailer, and told the investigator, $200 water bill, $180 electric bills monthly, $256 to fill the propane every 6-8 weeks, $550 for a new hot water heater, it goes on and on, and I was exploiting him?? I put back most of what I borrowed, but was maybe $500 short, so now I have to fight this too. I am still buying his meals, paying his cell phone, his insurance, anything he needs down there, candy for the staff for all holidays (a good $20), plus putting money in his account (over $300 in the last 2 months) because he goes out and buys doughnuts for the staff almost every day and he doesn't have that much money. He called yesterday and wanted Chinese food, so that was $10 (unplanned) and had to leave work 1/2 hour early to take it to him, etc. So I want to know who is watching out for my rights??? Damn, guess you guys didn't know what a worthless jerk I was!!

My boss is in a snit over crap at work, they moved my office into an ugly area that is filled with dust and I am allergic so I have been congested ever since and the noise is unreal, is hard to hear what I am trying to type.

Sorry, guess I am just in a really *****y mood tonight. See??? That is why I am laying low, need to keep my mouth shut and leave all you good people alone.

Thanks for all the kind words and support, you people are great.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week. Take care.

If you need to vent we understand, Marie. On the last forum place I used to be my friend, Nene had a thread made just for her so she could vent. I take it you are not your dad's P.O.A. (((Marie)))

I hope things get better for you!!!!! It sounds like you are over due for a vacation!

(((Marie))) this IS the place to vent. This is where we all care and support. You deserve that as much as any of us. Please dont get down on yourself for venting and please dont stop. We all need someone to vent to, talk to, have care about us and our feelings. Thats why I created this thread.

I am so sorry to hear that they are on your case again about your dad. That's just pissy and I hope there is some way you can fight it. You are a very caring and compassionate person. Also a spitfire and I know you can beat them. The other stuff, I know you are being very supportive as you always are.

We love you and want to help if even in a small way here. Don't stay away if you don't feel like you have to. Cuz you don't have to. I know how independent you are, but we are always here for you! Huggers! Karen

Hi creationsfire,

I just wanted to tell you that I think it was very thoughtful, and sweet of you to start this thread.

God bless you, and all who read it!

I'm going for SSI jax......Karen, they denied me by just looking at my medical records, they even have it where i was on ssi as a child.....

Sorry that they turned you down. I still think you need an attorney. SSI is what Im on right now and it took me several Dr visits (both my Dr's and thier's) tons of medical records; and seems they rip your history apart and wear you down so they don't have to pay.

So good luck with that and let us know how you're doing.

Thank you for the compliment mg. I just wanted there to be somewhere people can come to talk; and give and recieve support. Every one of the posters here made this thread what it is.

You are sweet, and God bless you as well.

Karen

Well nursing homes and corporation owned private pay assisted living centers bleed seniors dry of funds and then toss them out to the ones that have medicaid beds.
God forbid you got behind a wee bit.hugs to you and rant anytime !!

no karen,i ate it all..

Actually Roy, I am my dad's POA (power of attorney), so I pay his bills and all too. So have to gear up for another fight, just sucks, thought this had gone away.

Thanks for all the kind words and support. I really appreciate you all. You people are the greatest.

I am at work and need to get off here quick. Just updated Pam's (Snuggles) thread. Take care and have a good afternoon.

It must vex them so that they aren't the POA and you are, Marie. Because if they were the POA then they would have the authority to bypass you and you wouldn't be in the way of their money. Can you say guilt trip? They say you are exploiting your dad while in all reality they are exploiting you. Kind of like credit cards supporters. We will take out all the hassle. Just open your wallet to us and we will take what money we want. What do you have in your wallet? Its none of your damn business and its my money. So kiss my ass. In the words of Cheech and Chong, "Just sign the paper old man." You can just stand in line with all the other creditors.

well, a couple of new teeth decided that wanted to start "singing" today, i wish sometimes i just yank them out on my own......i think one of them is trying to abcess tho because my face is starting to swell and feels like it's on fire

Get ye to a dentist with a payment plan.Abcesses can kill if let go!!

I 2nd that !

There's no dentist around here that does payment plans.....I'm keeping myself full of darvocets and rinsing my mouth with pure peroxide....when i go see my dr at the community clinic i'm gonna see if they do dental referrals......

That is true, Jax. Last abcess I had was sore up to my left eye. Whole side of my face was hurting so bad. Dentist told me that I didn't have to prove to him that I was macho. I swear that dentist got off on other people's pain. Guy had no bedside manner at all. Was cutting up with jokes while I was in intense discomfort. You ever laugh when you are in excruitiating pain? Personally, I wanted to take the drill from him and use it on him. Just got out of a meeting. One lady had 90 days and a friend had 4 years. The one with 90 days said she was having trouble dealing with life on life's terms. Said if she had some Zanax that life would be easier to cope with. Then the topic went off on a insanity tangent. One of our favorite topics besides anger management of course. My input was the nice thing about being schitzophrenic is that you can always get a second opinion.
