Kat,



Yes, Cornerstone and nursing home are two different things.  I thought I had
an apartment half-way lined up for respite .  That fell through less than a
month before they were leaving.  I was going to camp the next week.  There
was no time to train people.  Besides we tried that once and they said they
didn't like strangers coming in to their home to take care of me when they
weren't around.


I fucked up Cornerstone.  I tried to run away a year ago August, we met with
Cornerstone this spring and they said in order for me to go back, 1 I had to
take extra medicine (which is against the law ) 2 I had to have extra
drivers in case I was violent .
