...WHY SHOULD I NOT WANT TO BE CURED ?!?!?!?!?!? As opposed to being in a wheelchair , and then going down from there ?
Maybe it seems they're not that oriented towards getting me better ...........

...Admittedly , I brought the wheelchair up ~ There has been , IIRC , little if any offering of stuff outside the hospital ~ And , as the blogger The Homeless Guy put it , people who are not HL tend to GREATLY overestimate how much largesse/gifts/" good stuff " is available to us from Social Services/whatever !
Now , look at me . My (all but 2 ) teeth were pulled in , um , 2007 ? I have not had prescription glasses since ~ GW Bush's first term ? Even earlier ?
Now , remember , I did sign with that HMO , I thought they'd get me dentures and pre. glasses as they said they would - No .
And , too , one of two " responsible adults " I thought would call the Main Library and tell them , truthfully , that I was in the hospital and couldn't go o their " trial " of me on the attempted banning ~ DID NOT DO IT ! He claimed to not remember me telling hiim about it and his agreeing to do it ~ And I keep not getting to the former shelter I was at , the Respite one , to see if my main doctor there , who was also supposed to call the Library about the hospitalization , did it .
I am not optimistic .
Now , what possibly waits for me here in S.F. ?
Some sort of institutionalization ? Sucking away all my money ? So I'll never have any tech ever again , even what I've had now ? Of course , no other stuff , and no one to visit me ~ I have no one here ~ I'd never see my brother ~ That wonderful life , you mean ?
Reember , too , when I PLEADED and BEGGED here for soeone to come and help me with improving my computer/tech skills ~ NOTHING ELSE , I went to LUDICROUS lengths to say " I won't ask for money or any ' stuff ' ! I won't ! " - Still no one would help me Just to take my computer skills up to 2002 or so . Oh , and it's looking like the 2nd-hand tech place I bought some of those gone away 2nd-hand techs at (You know , part of the hundreds and hundreds of dollars of stuff I have had depleted from me in these last months ) appears to have closed . I was going to try them again .
Oh , and I'm a cripple . Not just " semi " , I suppose I can say .....................
