GOOLD ASSESSMENT

IT WENT WELL. I RECEIVED ANIMCREASE OF HOURS, FROM 6 TO 18 A WEEK. I NOW AM CONSIDERED NURSING HOME LEVEL AND QUALIFY FOR THE STATE'S LONG TERM MAINECARE LEVEL OF INSURANCE. I CALLED DHHS AND THEY ARE SENDING ME AN APPLICATION TO FILL OUT. THAT MEANS MY MAINECARE WILL BE REINSTATED UNDER LONG TERM CARE. THAT WAS A SHOCK, ALONG WITH BEING TOLD I'M AT NURSINGHOME LEVEL FOR CARE. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR THAT AND IT DOES CHOKE ME UP. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE MY VITAMIN D DUE TO BEING ON CIPRO FOR THE UTI, AND MY MOOD IS A LITTLE DOWN. HEARING THIS NEWS DOESN'T HELP EITHER. WELL, GOOD NEWS IS THAT ONCE I HAVE MY MAINECARE, MY MEDICAL CO-PAYS WILL BE GONE. THAT'S THE SILVER-LINING.
