End of Housing Possibilities Here

Post Reply New Topic

...The 180 " possible housing " thing has apparently stopped being a possibility with the HPHP part known as HSC's planned (if not absolutely total , near-total) shutdown , so , along with the " nice " shelter , and even a " not so nice " shower I didn't go into detail about , there goes , I guess really , any thought of housing via SS means , and , for the temporary " housing " of a hospital or nursing/recovery place bed , I have had the hospital here's great hatred of me demonstrated , and , the nice nurse and another at HPHP stated that their observation was that I was considered " too Aspergers' " for any help group , and , furthermore , something that " my behavior was bad " in the past ~ This seems like it might point to the nursing place I was in in '14 , which , when I left them , weeks after they told me I was supposed to live and with me receiving essentially NO medicine from them at that point , apparently called the County Sheriff's department about me claiming that I had skipped out/" escaped " and that I wasn't taking medicine I was supposed to take , and after which the SCSD's Facebook page put up a post stating that about me , that I had skipped out and refused to take medicine I was supposed to take , the SCSD illustrating this post with one of my old mug shots ~ Why would the SCSD put such a falsehood up other than because another " institution " had told them so and they took it at face value ?
I hadn't had any recent interaction with the SCPD in 2014 at that point .
Anyway , then , both the " get housing " and " get therapy/care " conventional angles appear to be totally go-ne now , here in SC .
I am thinking that I'd best try another hospital somewhere , where I haven't been . I agree myself .
I have thought of/had suggested to me Stanford Hospital , in Palo Alto , but it appears there is no Greyhound bus there, I doubt it is a local trip , MAYBE an ajagcent town has a bus stop there ?
Anyway , I myself want to clean myself in the HPHP shower and then , put on new-to-me clothes (probably , for " u-above " clothes , most-all 2nd-hand ~ I am trying to emphasize that " I am not asking much/am being thrifty-economical ~ But , to do it in one day and have clean clothes on , out of the shower , I would have to run around like a chicken with its head cut off all day , carrying my ball and chain all the while (NEVER can you get " a place to leave your stuff for a while " . NEVER .) .
I think I want try and go to Stanford , or another area's hospital , having cleaned and re-clothed first .
However it would tend to consume all my money just to get there .
Maybe in the hospital , I'd get ~ a short stay there , then referral to ~ some program/rehab place ?
Or just a standard-hours shelter ? Maybe not even that ?
It would likely til' the business day to get cleaned and re-dressed , but , for one thing , if I stayed out yet one mo-re HL night before , waiting for tomorrow's early bus , I'd just be getting myself and the new clothes dirty all over again if I stayed in my usual ~ Now , pretty cold ~ homeless haunts . However , I would really have this all done FAST , before my money runs out .
(I really meant to make this an addition to my " WHY ? " line but , only after I was finished , did I discover that I'd pressed " New Topic " and I CAN'T " just write it again " and I DON'T KNOW how to " transfer it " ,)

Sorry about that, buddy.

If you want to go to Palo Alto, there's a #17 bus that goes there from the Santa Cruz Metro Station. It costs $10.25. It takes 1 1/2 hours. It takes you two minutes from the San Jose Caltrain Station, where you would take the #273 bus to the Palo Alto Caltrain Station.

...Thank you .
Is that $10.25 round ?????????
The " to-San-Jose ' standard bus from Metro here is $5 each way , I believe still , though it's planning to go up .

Nope...one way

...How much is #273 from San Jose to Stanford ?

$4.00 one way.

...I managed to clean up and get clothes but I'm feeling I'll stay here to-night-I got clean-ER but I think maybe I'm not totally clean , and I'm sort of spazzed out/sleepy from mu9ch caffeine and may8be not enough sleep , I still have maybe 1/2 technically of my money for to-day but I'm...from the soda overload somewhat spazzed out .
I guess I'll stay here tom'w and get Alix to- take me to see UCSC and try to start the whole thing going symbolically and get to the Big Five store to get new sandals , then.........?

Just a note: I live in transitional housing in Seattle at a place called Aloha Inn. I've been here about 5 months. There's a lot of drama here so I pretty much stay to myself. Aloha Inn does have a positive track record of helping people get permanent housing so it is something to consider should you find yourself in Seattle someday.

...Thank you , RR , maybe we should have contacted when I was in Seattle recently !

...As I said , I sort of dropped the " go to another hospital jurisdiction/area " idea , at least for now , but , I am VERY cold at night !
The new clothes I got are too thin in the cold , and I am carrying SO much...
.
If I could just get some help/rest/treatment ...I have deeper/in more detail to say but I am running low on time and want to get something up .

y , that more assertive " Stewart " friend of mine browbeat me into setting up a situation to go to the local hospital (Dominican) to hopefully get help for my foot , he sayinhg " You're gonna lose that " , he thinking I'd get admitted (maybe mle, too) - Well , briefly , I got some insuli0n/a little r6aining my feet through the ER but NOTHING ELSE !
They are DETERMINED ! to not offer me any rehab/rest for my rotting left leg .
They did the professional bare minimum well , didn't even offer to bandage my bad foot - I was washing up , thinking that at least I hadn't had conflict with them like at the last time - Then , when they thought I was taking too much time in the bathroom washing up , had someone bang on the door threatening to call the police for " li0ngering " (or whatever) if I didn't get out toot sweet .
Even before I was treated , the doctor , talking to me , ignored my double toe amputation as if it were some lark I had set out on intentionally , like a frat boy who'd broken his leg while skiing on moonshine whiskey as a zany frat romp and he was the college vice-president and I had set out to have both my toes amputated . The Hospital-Industrial Complex hates anyone who expresses disagreement with them . So , I can say t7hey definitively hate me .

...Okay , I said already what happened at the SC main hospital (Dominican) , that They Definitely Hate Me , can we accept that ? Certainly as far as providing me any deep care .
Look , when I walk WITHOUT my ball & chain (the luggage ) I REALLY walk like a cripple , more so than when I'm pushed down by the b&c ! !! !! !! !! !! I) think I'll just , now anyway , refer to myself as a " cripple " , no " semi-cripple " WASP modesty and expecting props for such non-pushiness ...........

I think you might do well to take redrobin62's advice and see if you can get into Aloha Inn in Seattle, if you can get there that is.

...It's certainly a very expensive trip up there just for one major factor though thank you .
And , the fact that I did just that about 10-ish months back , literally , then came bus-ing (also pretty expensive-ly) (not " crawling " ?) back here ...........

...I am down to no paper money now , some coins .
(One weird thing about Santa Cruz is that the food stores/supermarkets that are downtown are all " nice/new age/yuppie " expensive supermarkets of the Whole Foods type ~ Not WF itself , sort of conceptually similar ones . They rather disapprove of fast food places , and there's only two downtown ones , Taco Bell and Subway - and I got myself banned from both ! Woo hoo . Okay , okay , okay , FF places are not exactly the best places , health-wise , to eat at ~ I cannot cook , and there's no daily free feeds downtown that I am aware of . Perhaps I could re-invent myself as some sort of PC , veggie-or-close-to-it , hills-dwelling God-Gaia-loving little Johnny Appleseed sort of homeless dude ~ If I ever have the chance to rest/reinvent myself/heal .)
