Guest guest Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 That is SO great, Liz. I’m glad you posted this, have been wondering what’s up with and the Waiver. The older we get, the more we appreciate having the house to ourselves...don’t even have to go out to feel like we’re getting a nice break! And if I was being completely honest, I’d tell you that sometimes we just take NAPS while is out. Isn’t that sad? But it’s what keeps us going sometimes. We all have to do whatever it takes to keep up our energy!!! L.

One of the former staff from the facility is going to be his psw along with me. is looking forward to her being here as well as we are. I'm so glad we stayed in touch after she left there. She's gonna do community activities with him, so am hoping he won't fight getting out as much. Have a safe & happy 4th everyone! Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I did all the hrs with in June. Today was the first day with P, his new worker. She's gonna do a couple 6 hr shifts a week. She's having surgery in a couple weeks, but I wanted her to start before her surgery & she wanted to do it. She was one of the good staff. We met her at a pool, which is close to her house. She then took him out to eat, out for ice cream & bowling. Then they came back here to play Wii. Meanwhile, I got my refrigerator cleaned!!! Hopefully she'll get paid faster than I did. Has anybody that has Home Based gotten their check. Was told that I wouldn't get a check until the fingerprint results came back. I got fingerprinted on June 9. Would have thought they'd be back by now. I'll be calling Access Tuesday. They weren't there Friday when I called. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
