Quickly, before I forget -

[kyburg]

being_homeless called the other night. She sounds fabulous. Which, in all honesty, isn't hard because I haven't heard from her in months, and when I did - it broke my heart. "You always seem to know what to do..."

Not always, hon. Not always.

(shadesong? She's gotten the fibro diagnosis - and wants to know when you get to Boston. Tuck it away somewhere.)

She sounds much better, some really icky stuff has been dealt with - and I hope she comes back and begins posting again.

..

Past that, I don't know how much to tell because of privacy issues. I do know I want to cow-kick the side of my desk for a few hours for knowing so fucking much about adaptive equipment, because I hate, I HATE how I learned it.

*fume*

So there.


...I work with computers and itty bitty pieces of data that makes tab A go into slot B and everything works and lalalala allll day long and that's all. That's all. That's all.

*grrrrrrr*

Oh, that's good to hear!

Can we post what you've posted here to bh_friends? I'm sure there's folks there who'd like to hear any news at all.

Does being_homeless have fibro? Oh yuck! That's just not what she needed on top of everything else - not that anybody needs fibro. But the only treatments worth a spit are either things that aren't covered (hot water, massage, etc) and tricyclic antidepressants, which would probably mess with her brain chemistry and meds cocktail. Arrrrgh.

Adaptive equipment - let me know if there's anything my experiences can do to help, too. Or if any spare gear of mine might help. If nothing else, she's of a size (I think) that my current powerchair might be useful if I can bully Medicare into buying me a new one in the next few months, as is the plan.

Let's just go to Boston. Let's just go, and take everything we can think of with us. I swear it.

Leave the cross-posting be for now, though. I'm very, VERY leery of how much information and on what to let loose right now.

If I had the funds, I've certainly got the damn time to go, for what little good I can do... gah, frustration. If my other half has a job this fall...

I won't post, then. Good to know, though. Thanks.

And yeah, it sucks to have lerned all this crap the hard way - but at least sometimes we get to pass it on to somebody else who needs a hand before they have to learn via hard knocks.

I was wondering how [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] was doing, since she made her LJ friends only nearly a year ago. I am glad to hear that she's doing a little better. I might be a stranger, but I do care about people.

Oh, I'm so glad to know she's alive. The Yulemas card I sent was sent back, and then I read about other people not being able to get in touch with her and while I hoped for the best, I have to admit fearing the worst. I'm glad my Eeyorism was wrong this time.

Thank you. :)
