I reckon they should introduce a rule ASAP that all cars have to have manual transmission with clutch pedal required.
Then we’ll see who can actually drive!

Thanks.
I'll see if I can find the health plan info, I believe I can access it online. I have to deal with Illinois laws don't know what difference that makes.

ShitFuckBallsDamn!!!
I fuckingg HATE this country's medical system/insurance maze.
Having told this care facility I was covered when they checked my insurance on the 10th of this month, having also been told by one of the 3rd party companies dealing with me that I'm covered until the 30th and after that if I'm on Short Term Disability then I'm covered by that, AND....another of the 3rd party companies (there's 4 in total) required weekly updates and each time said my coverage would continue, today I found out, at 2:45pm that my coverage DID (supposedly) terminate on the 1st.
What does this mean? It means I get discharged on Friday (at least the care facility is trying to accommodate me) with NO walker/rollator/wheelchair or anything else, no home PT, no home health, no home help. Basically I'm screwed and, until I get better physically (can't walk unaided or climb stairs, stand for more than about 30 seconds) I'm likely to be, in effect, a prisoner in my own home (15 stairs up to my front door!)
I'm so angry, frustrated, depressed, annoyed, anxious, worried and scared. I don't know how to deal with this at all. I know there's delivery services can bring food and groceries, but how the hell am I supposed to cook them (or even put them away)? Also I'm likely going to lose my STD payments so I'll be penniless.
I don't want to speak to anyone, sat outside this afternoon stewing in my own little hell, did not go for dinner as I have no appetite, I just want to go to bed and sleep my life away.
tl:dr I'm very upset.

As a debt-free, fan-owned club generating actual profits in Scottish football, I wouldn't hold your breath. Thanks for playing anyway though.
Still shite though, aren't they. How long since a trip to the top tier?

Ach, aye. Thank you for the reply.
A few days of reflection helped, in the end. It's not even been 2 years since my mrs passed away. It feels longer.
It's uncomfortable with picturing what the rest of my life is like from here on, sometimes. Not long before I'll be the same age she was when she died, too, which is a weirdly uncomfortable thought.
Still. I'll give myself more time for things to improve. Euros are around the corner and I've the time off for them from work, few days sunning myself somewhere might help.
Keep going. Good luck with your recovery, and I'm glad you're alive and kicking to post this.
On reflection - and without going into it too much - some folk at my prior work were complete and utter c***s, including a gaslighting psychopath of a manager that openly gossiped about (what I thought were) private conversations with her and mocked me routinely at my lowest ebb & some of the most dour faced, wretched people I've ever had the misfortune to work with.
Console myself that I won't have to see any of the fuckwits again; motivate myself to keep getting stronger out of spite towards them.
Not a pleasant feeling, and not that petty either.
Aye, I can mind flinging myself baw deep into a job during Covid - never got so much as a leaving card organised for me at that place (although bizarrely I got a nice one from the other, shitty one)
edit: can also mind one guy who I was only ever civil to that, for reasons I'll never fully understand, took an immense dislike to me. It happens, fine, but I had chipped in a fiver for his birthday card & signed it a month or two before mine came around - at which point everyone on my team signed it and chipped in, barring this miserable p***k who didn't give me the courtesy of at least even signing it. Wasn't like he was off on holiday or anything either, we were all given plenty of notice for colleagues birthdays. You can make of that whole practice what you will, but its a shitty thing imo.
You're not being petty to expect courtesy, imo.
I wouldn't beat yourself up. It's been 11 years since my last wife died, 15 since Mrs. RN#2 died and that still bothers me at times.

That lassie (wid BTW) looks like she's offering a particular type of "pie" IMHO

See also Las Vegas Raiders NFL T Shirts. I suppose the ‘ultimate’ example of this are NY Yankees baseball caps. Everywhere… clearly no-one (or 99% of them anyway) wearing one is actually a baseball fan, it’s just about the logo. As an NFL fan myself, if I see someone wearing a Raiders item, I generally don’t reckon they’ll be into the sport. I saw a guy in my local Tesco recently wearing an old Reebok era Cincinatti Bengals jersey, said ‘Go Bengals’ to him in passing, and he was a fan. Was too niche a jersey to be a ‘fashion choice’ item.
Doesn’t always work out, but you can usually differentiate between a fan, or someone who went to Lids and came out with a Raiders cap.I wear Raiders "gear" but I am actually a Raiders fan.

How the hell does Tom English even consider Clemente as a potential manager of the season?
Well, he has to pick either Clementine or St Brendan of the Teeth, and as a probable blue bigot he picks Clementine.

JPJ, good pick. It's not the Raiders year to make inexplicable picks this year it seems.

Still at the Rehab/Care facility. Doing leg strengthening exercises, balance exercises, but need to have the parallel bars to hold onto or grab if I start to "fall" doing the balancing. As for walking....I need to use a "rollator" (ken those things with wheels and a built-in seat that old people use) otherwise I either get very out of balance and would likely fall. Can do about 30-40 steps before I begin to feel like I'm going to fall/start getting light-headed. BP is still crappy, recent high was 108/67 (during PT/OT) but most mornings and afternoons it's usually low 90s/mid 60s, this despite taking meds to raise my BP.
Ach weel, at least I can stand, walk, talk, feed myself, get to the lavvie by myself, so it's not all bad. Moving about here/going to meals, going to activities I have to use a wheelchair, but, on the positive side, ay least I'm able to do this without help (I can propel myself fairly well).
No discharge date (can't send me home until it's safe) and no return to work date either (assuming I get to go back/they will have me back)
Time for me to go to bed now, hope all of you P&Bers oot there are doing well.
Goodnight.

1. Phones: our school policy is to collect them during morning "Mentor" time (think registration) prior to period 1. They get them back at afternoon "Mentor" (last "class" of the day), dismissal also runs at this time. Phones are kept in secure locking desk/file cabinet. If a student doesn't hand in a phone ("I didn't bring it today") them admin staff call home for confirmation (or sometimes just call the student's phone).
2. Addressing staff: Students at said school use staff first names, e.g. I'm "Raider" not Mr. Nation, or Sir.
Mind you, it's a small school and all students are referred to us by their school district because they are neurodivergent and have social/emotional issues which mean they can't be successful in a general education setting.
P.S. I'm calling this my current school but there's a decent probability it may not be for much longer as I'm on my 3rd "lengthy" absence of this school year (all genuine and approved by insurance). My current absence started on April 3rd with a trip to the Emergency Room and 9 days in hospital, in bed as I was/am a fall risk. Since the 11th I've been in a care facility so I can get physical and occupational therapy.
