Hello again
I make no bones about the fact I am a Christian. Even my salutation states this. So I received this Bible verse and will now share it with you.
Luke 10:19- ESV
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Perfect for me
Now
Thank you for returning mom's shampoo and body wash to her room.
Regards
So tonight when I arrived it was dinner for mom. And tonight, mom was given a cabbage roll, rice and some over cooked vegetable.
So this wasn't going to cut it.
Instead I fed mom. 5 different types of cheeses, a papaya, an Asian pear, an avocado. Asiago cheese and herb crackers. Spinach dip and, well there was something else. But I will remember latter. Oh yea ice cream, that was ice cream, when I left my house and it turns into a chocolate shake by the time I get to White Rock. This is the way mom likes it. And mom only likes a certain type of ice cream at that. Heavenly Hash by Bryers. That is it.
Over the weekend I tried two other types of ice cream and no, not at all. Did not like. So it was on sale and I bought some. And mom loved it.
Better dinner then she was to have. Mom ate and ate. Then to her room for her spa treatment. And I gave her a manicure as well, and put clear nail polish on her. This she liked
Now because I bought other products with the ice cream and coke. I cant turn in the receipts. The social worker will not except them. So I will be reimbursed for these funds. I don't care, about spending the money, but this is what the comfort fund was set up cover. And this is going to be a continuous issue. I turned them into the PGT last week. the ones the social worker would not turn in.
I don't know if I will be reimbursed for this or not.
But the problem is that. If I don't turn in the receipts for exactly the amount of funds I received I don't get to access the comfort funds anymore.
Excuse me, but this is Bull Shit. I have spent the money on mom and because someone does not think that the cashier at he hospital will except it. They wont turn them in. It is going to be to hard for the accounting department.
They are accountants, are they not. This is what they do.
You see, it took me a very long time to pay off my Visa, and I cant and don't want to use it, at all. I paid it off in case their was an emergency with mom, that I need immediate cash to pay for some ting. More money than I have. In solid currency. This is why I paid it off.
Now a comfort fund was set up. For me to access, to purchase food and clothing for mom, As it is, I had to use my Visa this entire weekend, and it is now up their again. Not that high. But not the 0 balance I want to keep it at. And I am not going to be reimbursed for these funds either. As I purchased a few things for myself. Because it had my items on it as well, not just items for mom. This is why it wont be reimbursed.
Now I proposed, that the PGT write me a cheque for what is in the comfort fund. $600.00 and I now, get a secured MasterCard. To be used strictly for moms purchases. As mom needs clothing, and new shoes. I dont have the funds for this and the funds that are to be their for me, are not available.
Go figure. This way, I have copies of the expenditures, through the statements, and the hospital gets the originals and the PGT gets them as well.
It is secured, so I can only spend what I put on it, and if it is not paid down, their is nothing to use. This way, I buy what is needed, instead of having to contact he social worker, at the hospital, then wait one to two days to get the funds.
By this time, the sales are over, for the items I want for mom, or they are just gone, her size that is. And I turn in the receipts, get reimbursed, pay the credit card down. And the circle continues. It is a win,win scenario for everyone involved.
It is now, 3:00 am, I got home at 11:30 pm and I have done nothing but write emails concerning this matter and now this blog.
I have to go, I do need to eat something. I am hungry, but, again it is 3:00 am. So we will see. I have a frozen pizza in the oven.
All the things I cant eat. Dairy products, white flour I will pay for this tomorrow.
GOD bless and good night

So after writing this, I find an email from the PGT Stephen Flynn and he tells me that there will be no credit card and if I don't turn in the receipts I won't have access to the funds anymore.
Now what he said was we will have to re think the comfort funds issue.
Come on now. This is pure crap. I am doing what I am to do. And this is the Bull Shit I get. I will put the email up, when I finish writing this blog. Excuse me making edits to this blog.
What does he not get. I do what I am asked, the funds that are suppose to be their are not their. He just abuses his clients like this all the time.
Sorry Kris, no credit card.
If you are not prepared to provide the receipts to the facility,we will rethink using the comforts fund.

There it is in Black and White
I will however continue to turn in the receipts as I have been, and the one's Larry does not think are acceptable for the cashier, I will just turn into the PGT Stephen Fynn
This is part of what I have to deal with all the time.
Write your newspapers let them know, write your TV stations let them know.
I need new bags. They are done, I am caring grocery bags now. One is strickly for mom's beauty products. The other is her food and snack items. This is only for mom, but he thinks it is for my use. He does not understand or get it.
But I am not going to keep explaining it to him.

I will turn in every single receipt. If not to the hospital, then to Stephen.
