Peony13,
No disrespect meant, but I think every one of the response posts you received were nothing but supportive and members telling you that we accept and support you at this forum. Nobody said anything about having a bad attitude...and no 'slogans" were given to you. I believe I tried to give you a starting point to get real, tangible help and resources. You said you can't get up or out. I'm assuming you can get tp a doctor appt if you are looking for a peer support group. Physical therapy, even for mainrnance of strength could definitely help you. You said you have Meficare because of your disabilities, so I again assumed you are younger than traditional Medicare age. Physiatrists/therapists take Medicare and can oprn doors to some ineractions, social or otherwise, that may help you. I am a physical therapist, so I'm not preaching about something I don't understand.
If you aren't comfortable with that, any home health agency will accept Medicare and can offer assistace about 3 times per week in your home. From what you have said, you more than qualify, and at least there would be some support.
And you didn't mention assisted suicide in your original post. You mentioned feeling so hopeless that you wanted things to end. BELIEVE ME, there are many people here that understand that and know that the desperation can pass.
As for your writing, that I don't know alot about. Have you done any internet searches to see if there's any place where you could post your work?
Peony13, everyone posted support for you because we care about you. Please let me know even by PM if you like if I can help you with anything.
Peony13---So sorry, yes I think we were posting at the same time and I'm just seeing your last response.
Now I am understanding better.
Ok to get home health services, a doctor will have to write you a script for services. If possible, my advice is still to get a physiatry office appt and have a list of everything going on available to discuss during the meeting. This way you will have established a relationship with a doc that knows and understands your backround. They can also script/refer you to a psychologist or group to help with some of the other things.
With home health, Medicare will pay for OT as long as there is a script. Private insurance is a nightmare to get services covered. With your limitations, subacute rehab could possibly be a short term option to build some strength--if you see the rehab doc, ask about it.
And really, pm me with any questions and I'll do my best to help out with anything I can.
