From Dragonfly: A New Hoop

Okay, I promised NOT to write about when I'm getting out of prison, yet here I am, writing about it AGAIN... truth be told, it's really the most important thing right now for me... And, actually there's an update, which I, of course, want to share...

So, my case manager called my region office again this afternoon. I could tell by the conversation that it seemed to be going well. They were talking DATES!!! Well, she hangs up and this is what she tells me - they can still make my May 28th date, BUT I need to find a clinic by my home that will administer my first embryl shot that Friday. Okay, well... I always got my healthcare on campus - can't go there until I'm back in school. My rheumatologist and the other specialists are SUPER expensive, and I won't have health insurance that fast... SOOOOOOO, Sporty is making calls for me. She is doing her best to find a clinic or doctor's office that will make me an appointment. I actually administer my own injections, but the BOP/probation requires that I have it administered this first time at a clinic. Really?!??!?

Sporty has called three places so far. No luck... she will call my rheumatologist tomorrow... maybe they'll do it without a big charge - I don't have to see the doctor, I just need to come in for my injection. If they can't accommodate me, she will keep trying and I'll ask everyone who lives near there to try as well... Okay, I'm that desperate.

Once I have the appointment, Sporty has to send confirmation of the appointment by fax to my case worker... hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow...

Do I know if once we find me an appointment, if there will be another hoop???? Of course not. I only learn one small thing at a time and then find there's something else to do that I wasn't aware of.

Something tells me, though, that this is really going to work out. Two weeks from tomorrow (Wednesday), I will be heading to a halfway house for a brief orientation and then to home confinement. I'm getting out of here... I can feel it!!!
