My computer is acting up a bit. Hope it is not getting ready for a crash and I can't remember where I stored my blank CDs when I reorganized. Never good to clean up or reorganize. That is all I would need to deal with right now.
Nothing much new today. Same ol' same ol'. Was a beautiful day though, so spent a good bit of the time in the garden and visited with friends who stopped by. Redjeb looks really great. I'm not sure he feels as great as he looks, but it is wonderful to see the old Redjeb resurfacing. I do hope they will be able to do all the administrative stuff that needs to be done for a Thursday discharge. We made up our minds at the end of the day on Friday, so may have been too late. The head nurse had told me to email her, which I did, so she could get things started over the weekend. I had asked her to confirm, but have not heard back from her. Maybe I was too late in getting my email to her. Who knows. Monday will tell.
I'm still messing with forms at home: printing, copying, getting signed, mailing etc. My auto insurance company told me back in the beginning of July that I had no no-fault insurance coverage for Redjeb on our car policy. So that is the way we have acted and filed things etc. Now it appears that they LIED. Imagine an insurance company lying!! Yeah, right.
So now I have forms to fill out regarding that and various institutional financial offices to notify, etc etc. Then it also now appears that Stony Brook Hospital will not accept the Power of Attorney form that I gave them. I suspect it is because it is an older version of what is now used. The attorney who helped Redjeb with the POA forms years ago told me that this old form is still legal. But that doesn't stop an institution from not accepting it. Guess if one was Mrs Astor or whoever one would sue. In this case it so happens that Redjeb had made a more recent POA which may be acceptable. Who knows. I found it in his drawer the other week but that was after I had given the older one to the hospital.
So my advice again to you all (and to myself) is asap get your forms in order and make sure you have a recent POA. And put them in your refrigerator or somewhere safe and handy.
I had another New York, tired, transportation incident this eve. Was coming back home on the 86th Street Crosstown bus. I had with me my purse (which I had slung across my shoulder/back and a tote which contained my orange hat (those of you may remember my "lost" orange hat from one of the hospital blogs) and some papers. As I stepped off the back door onto the street I heard someone say, "Is that your black bag?" I looked around and a couple young men were holding the bus door open and gesturing toward my former seat. And of course there was the tote happily sitting there. I leaped back onto the bus when the last person exited and was prepared to just ride to the next stop with my bag, when I glanced around to see one of the young men still hanging onto the door, keeping it open so I could again leap out. I thought that was all very nice and thoughtful. See again New Yorkers are wonderful people. And again I did not lose my orange hat.
