The city probably doesn't help, right, because sidewalks are the responsibility of the owner?

MIL is off to hospital in Dunedin. Last night got a call from her GP to say they couldn't reach her. She wasn't answering OUR calls/texts. Sent a friend around for a welfare check. Not good. Access homehelp called an ambulance. She's frail and stubborn but we're grateful for everyone's help

Ty, yesterday's mtg with potential homehelp was positive. Mtg with a care agency this morning. Then got finances to look at to see what I can afford. Tomoro GP appt then 110 mile round trip to vet for check up. Already v tired from a busy but positive week just gone. It's going to be a challenge!

So having finally met with social prescriber (referred 2mths ago) & explained about phone probs & that I need to know how to find a self employed homehelp / personal assistant / organiser, the social prescriber has emailed me a list of phone numbers for care agencies which I'd already found online 🙄

After promising my homehelp they would deliver my pills, they are now claiming they “can’t”
I really do need to challenge my GP next week
Anyway, I have alerted my helper and sincerely apologised to her for the short notice
I’ve already not had any pills for several days though

My homehelp - have you eaten today, Sammi?
Me (truthfully) - I can’t remember
Her - then eat
Me - but what if I have eaten?
Her - at least get heat up a can of soup and make some toast
Ok

My homehelp came and did my drive
The same neighbour who had a go at me earlier (understandably) came and thanked me for arranging for me to come and do it
I helped a bit bit truthfully I’m so tired I can barely stand or remember my own name - I had kids here for 6 days running so no surprise

Both my homehelp and the kids just use she/her for me. Consistently.
The kids are kids, but they must have picked up that I am not the same as most other women
My homehelp said it would be wrong to go with He/Him because it’s just clearly not who I am
It would feel strange to call me “he”

It is, given that in an average day making a few lots of tea, putting a few records on, slamming something in the microwave and not even getting dressed is about as much as as I can manage
That’s why I am profoundly grateful that my homehelp is going to intervene

It makes me cross and feel guilty that my homehelp has had to step up because abled cis/het NT people in charge of me are so smugly and blithely convinced that what they have just assumed on the basis of fuck all is more persuasive than the actual fucking documented scientific evidence

My GP still hasn’t hit back to me about my housebound status
My pharmacist is hiding behind that and going “well, you can’t experience any difficulty in coming to get your medication”
My homehelp is going to tell them I can’t even answer my front door without getting worn out. Which is true.

I was gonna say I have done nothing but watch YouTube today, but in fact I have had my homehelp and opened a letter I was dreading opening (which turned out not to be what I thought, but still) and organised my DVDs and blurays
So that’s better than I am giving myself credit for
