Trapped in supported accommodation

I have various people on my team supposedly helping through my depression, and other issues I have. They requested I go into a care facility for a one month stay. Which I agreed to fully expecting to return home about one month after. As soon as I mover in to the place there attitudes changed. All of a sudden I had to stay in the supported accommodation. Because I was not going to be supported in my home. Even though the support I need is available from various agencies. Around Melbourne by various counsels or privet agencies. Providing attendant care and home help. I believe I should be eligible for funding for disability. I have raised this with the people who are my advisers. But get caned every time I am not consulted. About the decision I am told just sit back do as we say. When your ready we will help more then. The plan i am not consulted on it's not working it's just stagnating. My family are no help. I am that fed up where I am. I am rely contemplating ending it all my life has no meaning in here. Just a worthless piece of meat that gets treated like a 3 year old. I know a warehouse full of stuff. That no one can now use. I cannot help anyone in here not even myself I'm not aloud.

I have been up beat for ages.

The only problem is certain people ave been nagging in the background undermining what I am doing or have done or achieved. So I have not had a major movement in 4 years if any thing I have gone backward. Its not easy holding up the torch in an ultra ultra ultra marathon with no breaks no tag team. Even my own family have left me out in the cold.

It was getting that bad for me I was prepared to do something I have not done since 1982 that's going back to live off the bush. Or finding a squat some where to get out of here.

Now there is hope With any luck and a few contacts the old Kanga The scouting Kanga shall return with a vengeance. Who shall smite the mighty dragon take on the man and make my dearly departed start cheering from where ever she is Dam I better win this

hi Kanga, don't worry about the two hours, if they can do what you want means so much more than having to fork out the payment for 2 hours. Geoff.

Geoff the plan was to go to the house and just get me in. Now we can do just that but slower if I need medication or my nebulizer it gets done at a far better pace for me I hate being rushed. We can kick back have one of the best drinks on the planet. A lovely freshly brewed coffee, ( only in the city in the bush its a billy tea)

The plan is getting better now. My brother just contacted me he is coming over the day / evening before taking me over to the unit setting me up for Fridays OT assessment When I get to the unit and setup I will drop in for a quickie in BB for the hellebit so stoked about the possibility of being free of this place. Its so wrong I am here the wrong type of supported accommodation. Boarding houses are worse than here they are full of druggies and drunks. People who would rip you off without a second thought and that's just the people who run them. I have learnt that from experiencing it personally living in a few of them. One was always as bad as the last not one I would ever recommend ever.

Kanga I am really happy for you that it's all coming together,

I hope no one stuffs you around anymore.

Dory with the staff in here that's like expecting a snow ball casually walking on the sun on any given day of the week. It's just not going to happen. Don't ask what happened this one I am going to management with If that is denied Then its the ombudsman One place closed today if this hit the fan well all I can say is it's starting to show staff not being payed in one place abuse in others sexual assault in others That I have NOT seen but heard of the hole industry is bad

Like sucking pea soup through a straw so continues the days of our drearies. In todays installment like yesterday Kanga aka Peter gets kicked out of his bed room again into a small room with only a refrigerator a microwave ant a kettle for companions I am impressed shore they need to renovate but they should at least move us all out first then renovate then move us back in but then again we cannot have that because it would make scene to do your renovations with people with dementia to make them secure and people like me happy knowing what is happening rather than finding out in the morning of the move your moving I was just pushed out yesterday with two meetings on put into this small room with no radio or television well I was given my laptop but that was all I had so I back on the laptop doing the life story currently up to the bit where I prevent world war three.
