AuntieMel, and Phillipa, especially, you two have pushed and encouraged me to take this step, and maybe you've felt a little disappointed for or in me. Well, I think good news.
I gave my wife Ruth permission to call them today and gripe them out for hurting me and maybe putting me at risk. The admission lady was out of the office, and Ruth ended up talking to the head of admissions. Turns out I was approved a week ago. This lady just so completely dropped the ball his mind was boggled.
If you've figured out much about my personality in the 2 and a half months (is that all?) I've been posting here, You may have thought there is no way I'll go back there after they screwed up. Well I told my wife call him back and I will go in. Thursday was offered, but I have a doctor appt tomorrow, and this facility had a pretty strict list of what you can and can't bring, and I have shopping, cleaning, mental prep and pre cert issues to deal with. So we are shooting for Monday. This place has a very relaxed weekend schedule (to teach us about leisure time) so going in on friday makes little sense.
Anything could still happen. If you could remember, it has only been a short time since I was in an emergency room with my pdoc talking to their pdoc and nothing came of it. I've surrendured so many times in the last several weeks, I'm all turned around. this may be finally the real thing though.
I will keep everyone updated as I emotionally and physically prepare for this. It may be interesting on more than just a personal give a darn type way.
This facility is the real thing. If I work it, they have real help. Individual therapy, family weekend, DBT, real gym, Like in a hollywood movie. I almost got it when I was there before. I have hope and fear right now. Just have to maintain my cool and go along for the ride until I'm all the way in. Then work and relax, and meditate, and be open to things I've been shut to before.
My best friend (blood brother) and his wife sent out official pregnancy annoucement 10 weeks today. Family.
