You know it is interesting how people are and react to you. I met my partner
online on yahoo personnals we hit it off great. So I moved to Cleveland, Ohio in
2005. I have been with my company for 6 1/2 years soon to be 7 the first week in
November. I think of my company as my family we have gotten very close or though
I thought anyways. I was in a car wreck June 8 which I am still
suffering from. The doctor says I have a deep contusion to the brain which will
take some time to heal. My partner in the mean time is going blind from
macular degeneration and has applied for SSI and even went to court recently
to get it, he won, but he will not get anything untill sometime in July they
say. THere was no date given as to when he will recieve anythning. In the mean
time the doctor has got me on lock down bedrest and no moviing long distances to
anywhere. Today he wants me to start taking walks to try to get
myself stabelized enough so I do not fall over. But this is not the worst part.
My job needs doctors statements, our car is totalled. I have no family here they
are in Indiana. Only one person that works for the same company I do calls to
see how I am doing. I have used up my resources as to what I can help us do or I
do for that matter. Jim has no friends here hardly for he has told me he used to
be at the for front helping get things together for gay awareness in this city,
but as his partner was dying in 2001 no one would call or say anything to
console him so he left the community to take care of him, after he died he
became a recluse. I am now in fear of loosing my job and no where else to go.
With no money we can not go anywhere or get groceries or things. I have tried
without success to find some thing in this city that helps the disabled, but to
no avail. For with my partner going blind you would think that would put him in
that catagory. I try to do things that I would normally do on my days off but I
get dizzy and have to lay down from over doing it. Well anyways having trouble
concentrating now so I am turning in for awhile. Everyone have a safe a pleasant
weekend and have a safe one to boot................love and rockets to
all.............KQ
P.S. if anyone one can be of service or help please contact Jim Hayden at:
collinwood1@webtv.net Thank You one and all...................
