Well, things seem to be coming together now, at least with getting help for mother. As of the 1st of this month, mother is finally back on Medicaid, or what Oklahoma calls SoonerCare. The ladies who were supposed to show up actually showed up, even though they were a tiny bit late. The nurse started talking to me and asked a couple of questions. When it got to the questions about people coming in and helping me, I told the nurse it would be best to ask my mother. That’s because it really depends on what my mother wants to do, since I had been trying to get her into this Waiver Advantage Medicaid Program for a while now.
Anyway, the ladies both started asking my mother questions. Some were about medical stuff. Some were about what she could and couldn’t do. Some were about what she might want people to come in and help with. It all seemed good to go. When it came to stuff like where mothers' doctors were, I had to grab my phone and look up where each doctor was from my notes. It was a good day.
Now what I need to do is put the phone numbers of where both ladies are coming from so when they call I don’t think they are scammers. Yes, it has gotten that bad with the scammers. So bad in fact that I thought on the 2nd that I had gotten over 20 calls from scammers when in reality at least one came from one of the ladies the day before. Now I already put one of the ladies' phone numbers in my phone, and I need to make sure to put the other lady's phone number in my phone so I won’t think they are scammers. I’m also thinking it might be a good idea to give them Mother’s phone number just in case. I’m also thinking about creating user accounts on my Home Assistant for both of the ladies. Why? Well, so they can see when we are home, and so they can look at the calendar and see all of Mother’s doctor’s appointments.
Now the next thing to do is see if I can get us moved into the Tecumseh Housing Authority a little faster. Why? Well, that’s because it does not feel safe here anymore. While everything has calmed down, the damage is done, and I want a safer environment. I am tired of hoping nothing will happen to my mother while I go out and take care of the rent and electric bill. I’m tired of hoping that if something that’s part of the unit breaks, the Wetumka Housing Authority maintenance will address it sooner than three months. I’m tired of being in a place with dirty water and dirty power. That’s just to name a few things I’m tired of around here. Anyway, it is what it is, I guess.
