Inpatient Bath

Jun 25, 2013 14:02

I'll have to write something longer when I really can sit down with nothing else to do (hopefully tonight), but I'm going to be checking in to Nancy Page tonight for an indefinite amount of time (usually around 3 days) for intensive inpatient therapy. Thankfully unlike at HCMC APS (acute psychiatric services) I can have whatever I want with me, including my phone and iPod, so I'm probably going to bring my laptop so I can do some journaling, though I may decide to do paper journaling instead and type them up when I get home. No idea if they'll have WiFi - that's clearly not my priority. Unfortunately after my insurance this is going to cost $280/night, but I think it's really important to finally starting to get better, so... If anyone wants to donate money to help me pay the bill, it would be much appreciated. ^^; I know my dad's right that sometimes poor people just have to not pay their medical bills, but I still feel super-awkward deliberately going into this program knowing I can't afford it. Fun fact: if I didn't have insurance, I could get a referral from COPE (OMG, check out that URL...) which would cover the entire cost. Yay for catch-22s... So yeah, gotta go get my meds from Geoff and Kendra (they have to dispense my meds directly to me from labeled bottles, rather than me self-administering from a pill minder) and then pack my bags to get there at 5 pm (when their shift change meeting will be over). Hopefully I'll be able to leave the building for MAS if I'm not discharged by then.

Oh, also, I wouldn't mind a donation to put some money on my bus card. ^^;

(To those who don't know, I haven't been to work since I went to APS on May 27th, since I need to get professional clearance before I'm allowed to go back and I haven't been able to follow through on that clearance thus far - I'm hoping I can get it before I leave Nancy Page.)
