...Giving background , I should say that yesterday (Mon.) , after what I posted then , I did go to HOT and weighed myself and told them about it abd they said tey,d arrange for me to go to a hospital and try to get me admitted but arrange a return to MSC South if I wasn,t admitted - But then the van simply took me to MSC , claiming to have not heard of me going to a hospital ,
So , I was simply back in MSC - with much less than I had had there before :( .
Then, in the night , came the foot blood , then , in the morning , discovering the shoes, and other tuff theft :cry: .
Now , I am in a hospital,s ER , but do not know if I will be kicked out , barefoot .

I'm sorry things are so bad, ASS-P.

If I were in your position, I would ask to be referred to a Public Guardian, who could oversee my financial, legal, medical, and housing needs. I'd explain that I have serious physical and mental health issues, and am unable to make these decisions for myself. (I'm not talking hypothetically, by the way; this is in fact my situation.)

Help does exist, if you're willing to accept it.

No matter what a public guardian COULD do in the log term , it can do NOTHING now - or in currebt days , either - with the thefts abd this showing of much of institional SF,s great dislike , at least where it matters/efficiently , of me :cry: !

Yes, a permanent solution will take time to figure out, but this is the perfect time to get that process started.

Meanwhile, the HOT team can help with your immediate needs. Call 311.

To their credit, the HOT Team have replaced ASS-P's things with the utmost urgency. That's really great on their behalf.

However, LONG-TERM is what you need to be thinking of. You can not just think day-to-day anymore.

ARE YOU HAPPY LIVING LIKE THIS???! !!

It's very sad to just sit here and read these threads of the same thing over... and over... and over.

Things are in no way, shape or form getting better. You don't really elaborate on my comments when I suggest asking whoever you can about long-term care facilities. Are you doing that???

You need to be in a nursing or other care home. You need someone on the ground in SF to help you get there. ONLINE, we can't do that!! !

If you can't get it in SF, get the hell out of there now and try in another state!

There is a phone number that can be called to have you forcibly taken into care.

Maybe at some point you could handle being on the streets. It's abundantly clear that now, in 2017, you can not handle it. Something needs to be done and it needs to be done now.

Neither of these things are true 1 I do not wish to be HL now , AND I ELIEVE THAT I HAVE CLEARLY STATED TO YOU THAT I AM OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY OF : CARE : !
You appear to think that offers of care are piling up at my door and that I am refusing them . Neither one of these assumptions are true !

Are you asking anyone in SF about long-term care?

I did read what you said, that no one is offering you anything. You may not have read my post, because you have not replied to that question, so I'll ask it again:

1. Are you asking anyone on the ground in SF for help in getting you a care home?
