I still have the cold/flu that has been annoyingly lingering around here. I could aptly call it the Non Covid Malaise.
Sounds innocuous to me.
Another weekend is unfolding and two weeks will be left in November. Weekends are very slow here in Appalachian Alcatraz.
(you gotta admit I have a deliciously unique way with words......sort of)
Can't establish an absolute attempt to escape. Weekends here are maddeningly sluggish.
When I was compelled (forced) to sign up with Hospice at the end of March (that's when my insurance stopped coverage) Hospice people visited me at least four times a week - - eagerly waiting for me to expire.
When they established the fact that I wasn't going to croak, the visits dwindled. Three, two, now....one.
They might be here Monday or Tuesday. That's when I'll drop the Big Bomb about severing myself from them.
That's also when the prison gates will crank open......almost like Heaven's Gates where St. Peter will distribute your wings.
I'm ready to fly and never look back.
I really don't know what the heck is gonna happen, but we can hope for the best.
I DO know that Signature will desperately try to stop my flight to freedom by saying that I'm not physically sound.
Don't doubt me.
Hell, at least I'm mentally sound - - which is more than they can say.
And I have Quality Home Care on my side. Which is a great relief.
I have an enormous amount of things here that I need to take with me. All the things that I bought, like the ancient Egyptain items. And many other things.
Don't start a sentence with a conjunction. You'll look like you're ignorant.
The storage cabinet in this room is full. I have at least three tote bags, six or seven duffle bags, assorted boxes.
Stuff accumulates.....in almost a year...
SO.......
I've been ordering food from the Walmart deli. Gives me some semblance of....freedom and resistance.
I won't be able to officially begin my escape until Monday or Tuesday.
I'm going to try to relax this weekend and look forward to positive things. I have to make it happen.
And I will.
Jon ❤️
The turkeys want to escape, too!
BTW after the radiation treatments, my arm hasn't bled in nearly four weeks! Can hardly believe it!
I don't know how I'll get through Sunday, and I'm afraid of Monday....but I have every right to go home. I am not incarcerated and nobody has a legal right to hold me here.


Exciting times, Jon. I'd no idea you'd accumulated so much in the way of physical 'stuff' -- you need someone to aid and abet.
ReplyDeleteThe clock's ticking and I'm really excited for you.
I'm excited, too, Myra - and extremely nervous. I'm pretending to be brave.
DeleteI kept buying things for legal reasons. My bank account was way over a certain balance, which has to do with supplemental social security. Sounds weird, but the monitor my account.
They monitor my account
DeleteFingers crossed 🤞 I’m hoping and believing you’ll make it home soon. Take care, Sheila Y
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sheila. I'm admittedly nervous but hopeful.
DeleteFingers crossed! And it is not ignorant to start a sentence with a conjunction. Years ago, when the Wall Street Journal had some of the best writing the in the country, a grammar book pointed out the WSJ did it often and it was great writing. The book explained why it could be a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's ignorant or incorrect....but every time I start a sentence with And I think back of all the long-ago teachers that frowned upon it.
DeleteI'm definitely in Team Breakout. It looks as if you'll need a u haul!
ReplyDeleteCould use a U Haul, but possibly a moving van. I'll fly home with my wings. All the junk will come later.
DeleteHere’s hoping that the coming holiday will have you thankful for an upcoming release, Jon. Does the cabinet shown in this post contain all you acquired treasures while in confinement?

DeleteWishin’ the Best for ya Jon. :)

Thank you - - I'll need it! 😸
DeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandra. ❤️
DeleteI hope it is soon! :)
ReplyDeleteJon, just catching up on my blog reading after Pat's thirteen day stay here in which we got married. Is it true that you'll finally be able to go home? Oh I hope so! You will be so happy. And home health care, I hope. you get that. That's what Bill had. We all deserve to die in our home where our memories are and where we are most comfortable with our privacy and freedom. That's my goal. I'm just trying to keep myself mobile and able to take care of myself. I was just talking to a former classmate. She's in a facility and probably not getting out. I feel so bad for her but she really doesn't have many options. She's been through three husbands. Her older brother is also in a facility. Her one daughter is now sick and has her own family. We all manage the best we can at this time of our life and hopefully can spend our final days at our homes. I'm so glad to hear this good news for you Jon.
