caLLed hoWard
bRown - talked with aNNa about getting a case manager
set-up for me here in cHi-town. in about 3-4 weeks they
will call me back and haVe me come in to talk more about
my needs dealing with HIV.
aNNa sounded
niCe.. i tHink indian.. middle east, and after talking
with me for awhile and hearing my history of the last
three years decided i would probably benifit from a
case manager.
a case manager
would .. in my caSe.. help me:
1 - get primary
health provider / practicioner
2 - blood
tests to track viral
loaD and t-cell count.
3 - plan
a diet with a nutrionist.
4 - set me
up with a support group or counciling for those DEFINATE
mental needs. :)
5 - research
and apply for supplement funding /insurance assistance
programsthat might be available to help me with finances
and living.
tHose are
the big "fiVe" .. tHat i need help with now..
tHere might be more .. but i will have a month to think
about what else i might need. i think though hitting
those five things .. a case manager will assist me with
will make a big difference with wHere im at now. makes
me feel good to have made the moVe to start these things
that will happen for me..
wHen i moved..
i gave up some of these things that are part of my continual
survival living with HIV.
jiM. saY:
iT. needs me to liVe... to survive it'self. - make a
deal.
caRl. maRx
would probably haVe me eX.tinque-getted..
aPril fool's
day..
we saGGi's
plan this thing wHay ahead of time.. liVe the part ..until
we spring it on you.. believable or not? .. is he pulling
our leg? .. or is there honesty really there and a possibility..?
hmmm.. i planned on moving to cHicago years ago to say
i wanted to move back to sf.. heh! .. i knew all that
years ago when i worked for apple and visited chicago
the first time.. i just didnt know how it wHas gonna
happen.
i have a
yeaR. lease here in cHicago.. lots of lessons to leaRn
.. people to sCare.. heh !.. hoWard bRown and my new
workout schedule are goin' to keep me here for a bit..
as well as i work out this neX.t pHase of my liFe..
many more things will be given to me as i eX.plore this
american mid-west city.. and perhaps .. i might not
eVer leave.. i felt that wHay about sf.. and remember
the first time i moved there and didnt like it.. i wanted
to go hoMe. .. but.. i love it here.. so..
so far..
so good.. im gettin so much being here..
sf.. sigh..
! .. my baby.. i may move back there .. someday.. i
feel that i will .. so yah.. but.. i feel more that
it is with me all the time.. i am sf..
.. i miss
it.. dearly.. and miss those things that remind me of
hoM.e .. or a familar ..
but tHis
saGGie carrys his sPirits close .. and faMilars eVerywhere..
and as the
fortune cookie said.. (minus the cookie.. tHank god..
) that i found in the new couch of sHame out in the
back alley.. a gift from cHicago when i arrived here..
"all
is not .. lost" ..
makes me
think im gonna find something again.. i gotta see wHat
it is..
so really
.. tHe aPril fool is reaLLy me..
