Yes @TAB I was in hospital for almost 6 weeks from 8th Feb. Just short of 3 weeks for surgery recovery and rehab, followed by an additional 3 weeks in MH unit where I was also able to continue my rehab.
I went home for just over 2 weeks, but am now back in the MH unit. I was calling some help lines (DVA) but was threatened with having an ambulance called out to me. I have discovered lately that it doesnt pay to be too honest. 😔
Anyway we reached a compromise where I agreed to them giving me a call-back later that night to check on me, and me seeking an admission asap. So here I am.

oh gosh , that's tough @Emelia8 um I got a White Card a few years back. Never got around to ringing helplines, what would I say ? oh I never should have joined and you knew it as were about to psych discharge me after 12mths, ended up staying another 2 years , had nightmares about being in there for years after lol
Anyway they took you and sounds like you know what to do. Hope it works out. just tidying here, trying to sort things as landlord never even met is appearing in a few weeks to 'possibly sell house' .. getting to thinking thats no way to live, think might ring them for first time in years and tell them that, ie if def selling or 80% even just tell me and I can start planning...
yes, I turned it around into all about @ Tab again .. just talking I guess ...

@TAB all these problems...now your landlord possibly wants to sell? Gee you've been put through your paces TAB! I'm just in from a walk had a siesta. These psych meds wipe me out, truly. So you might have to get the place tidied up and fix the garden. I just thought you could go with a crowdfunding site such as gofundme.com or another more local crowdfunding site. They raise funds for weddings, education, medical, pets, car expenses etc, etc So basically you can get funds donated to you to met the costs of any endeavour.

hi @Former-Member yeah got a txt a wk ago saying they were coming, then one 2 days later saying thinking selling place ha ha.
okay thats good re walk. started moving things can take to dump, sale or no sale as dont need, knee stuffed again now anyway so am stopping.
will hire ute from bunning and take a mattress, car tyres, used car oil etc to dump when am up to it.
yeah dont know re gofundme , think if anyone went on it here my likely just to get abused and get told go get a job etc as have seen on fb before when people as for free furniture etc, well sometimes they get things. yes garden needs fixing plus house clean/tidying Am going to Nothing to garden. have got my head around that finally will just tell them cant help it shrubs died few years ago, look I removed most of them for you ...

Yeah offload the stuff. Ute from Bunnings sounds like a good idea @TAB I have heard of all kinds of people getting funds through gofundme. I knew of someone who had a kitten and was gainfully employed who could not afford vet bills. Another person I knew who owned a B&B and could not afford to fix her car got money for a new used vehicle. But if you are concerned about being targetted for abuse then don't go ahead with it. I don't normally ask for stuff but several years ago was given a couch from a local church as my other turbular steel one broke.

think I might be seriously underwhelmed if put something on gofundme @Former-Member if that other site is anything to go by, the one where people try and raise issues, I put something up there years ago, I thought it was reasonable and appealing, got Zero interest. People are self interested and stupid these days lol all about hoarding TP, destroying the planet while trying to make your fellow human your Serf lol oh plus Instagram influencers and talk of mining Antarctica, the moon and mars as though it were reasonable etc etc lol

Oh well thought it may have been an option for you but if it does not feel right to you then by all means don't go ahead with it @TAB I can understand your reluctance as I rarely ask for anything myself. Hopefully it will all come together nicely for you with the options you have in mind. You have to feel right about what you are doing and how youre going about it afterall. For some folks things just tend to work in their favor when it comes to things such as this

Sorry @Former-Member are you sounding upset ? I do appreciate your suggestion, it's probably not for me that's all .
