paratrooper? you need to get the parachute soldiers from the dollar store and use them as part of your tribute.

You would do the GoFundMe not as "pay for this guy's funeral" but for you lot.... "We really want to say goodbye to our friend as befits his awesomeness, nothing fancy but not a pauper's deal...."

Sounds like a situation spinning right out of control.

What's to be expected when the population includes fine, upstanding members of society like this young gentleman...

Someone who steals to survive, help them.
Someone who steals for a living, prosecute them.

Looters? Shoot 'em... and leave their body lay in the street until kin, or feral dogs, claim it.

In my appointment with the specialist nurse yesterday she dropped into conversation that the waiting time for detox/ rehab is 2-3 MONTHS not 2-3 weeks as I originally understood.

No surprise this hit me like Mohammed Ali, and being so knocked out I could not articulate well enough to even challenge it. Partly from shock - my stomach dropped in a fight or flight response - partly still trying to maintain the veneer of sanity but partly because of the sheer embarrassment of having misunderstood.

I then came home for a rotten afternoon of self-hating and assuming I was wrong. Then that I was crazy. Then that in fact I was right and this was all a test because so many things have been brought up in one meeting and then never referred to again/ not happened. I suppose the final stage was they think it's convenient to pretend with me because I pretend along.

How confident am I that I was told 2-3 weeks? 75%
How much do I believe there was a genuine misunderstanding on my part? 10%
How well do I think I am being supported currently? 5%

Once again, I was told I would get a text regarding how my application was progressing.
And this was from the nurse I first met back when I was in hospital, so that's back in July and I have seen her every week. The nurse I saw last week was a fill-in, so when she didn't follow through on her promise I thought it was just lack of care. It feels worse this time.

It just drags on and on and on.

Shit, Sundae. I'm sorry.

It's pretty ridiculous they make you wait for such important treatment.

I must have missed something. Why do you need rehab Sundae? I thought things were travelling fairly well.

Sundae - chin up, shoulders back. It must be incredibly hard to be going through this. Remember you have one thing going for you that so many others don't, you have the love and support from friends in so may countries. We love you
