Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004BlueBird
Anyone have any recent news of BlueBird and how she's doing? Haven't heard from or about her since around Christmas. Hoping all is OK. Jeanne I also hope she is ok. Lots of best wishes, purrs and gentle hugs for BB,  SignaturePolonca & Soncek > Anyone have any recent news of BlueBird and how she's doing? Haven't > heard from or about her since around Christmas.

Hoping all is OK. > > Jeanne I talked to her about a week ago. She's still hanging in there, but things are getting hard for her - or rather, harder. LittleBit seems to be having some problems, which doesn't help, of course. BB is also feeling the effects for the Alzheimer's. Finances are very tight, so figuring out what to do is a worry. She is trying to work something out where she can share an apartment with a friend, who is willing to look after her. However, she is currently in some sort of subsidized housing, and she loses the financial help if she has another person living with her. They need to find a place they can afford between them, and, of course, moving will be very hard on her, but it looks as though it will be necessary. She gets to the computer occasionally, just long enough to do a group mailing of a joke or inspirational story, but doesn't have the strength to come to newsgroups any more. That is too bad, because she really misses them - especially this one. She still loves getting cards and notes. Joy >> Anyone have any recent news of BlueBird and how she's doing?

If a person with a disability needs live in help, the subsidy is not affected. A letter from her Dr explaining her needs is needed. The roomate would not have to pay rent which could be considered part of his/her rent. I almost did this but opted for overnight help sleeping on my foldout love seat. Also there are programs that help pay for in home help amount etc., varies from state to state. Email me Joy if you want more info.

She is all alone there, and while she has concerned friends, they have their own lives and are not able to do much more than shop for her and take her to the doctor. Because of her Alzheimer's, she doesn't feel able to carry on the long, complicated phone conversations that would be involved in trying to get more help. She does have a son, but he lives in another state. He almost never calls her, and often doesn't talk to her when she calls. He has never brought his children to visit her. She wouldn't even have pictures of her only grandchildren if it weren't for his wife, who writes her and sends pictures. Her son's solution to her problem is for her to move near him, where he would put her into a home. She would be away from all of her friends, and he would have complete control over her life.

Unfotunately programs vary widely from states to state. I'll have Spicey purr that BB's situation inproves.

You're so nice to check up on her! It sounds like she has a lot of things to deal with, with medical and financial stuff, family, kitties, and Alzheimer's must make it even harder. My god, her son leaves me gasping, I dont know what I'd do without my son and daughter, how can he neglect her like that, I sometimes get frustated at the way my kids constantly worry about me, like I have to ring when I get back from the shops or one of them is always there to take me to the Dr or the hospital visits[ both only at the top of the street] or the foot clinic, A bus ride away, even though I tell them I can still get on a bus.they have to taxi me there, but better that, than that they never bother with me.
