There is no  management on site.  There is a social worker there.

I'm getting up there. C/5 since 82.
The pain meds I now need really screws up my b-program, butt other than that 
I'm pretty good.
My hip is the only thing that is bad (Therefore the pain meds). A little extra 
weight now.
I'm really thinking about "Bagging it" Coloscopy, thinking iy might make life a 
bit easier.
That is the thing that make the most hassles in my life. My vacations, my 
caregiver's vacations.
My life is scheduled around it.

KK,
   That is just wonderful!!! I'm so excited for you. I remember 
when I moved into my own HUD apartment 30 YEARS ago. It's just a very 
small one bedroom with accessible bathroom and kitchen I can wheel 
under. BUT IT'S MINE!!! Do you have a mov-in date? Please let me know 
when you move in.

Bobbie

I got approved to move to a wheelchair accessible apartment.  I will be 
able to take a bath & wash my hair inside the bath tub.  Bake a cake - 
yeah no way!  But I could do it in my accessible kitchen.  I will have 
a dressing area & a separate bath room.
