Homeless day 182


It's been a while, Gail has gone through several bags of clothes. An extra 500.00,  recent 500.00 that lasted 2 days, and several hospital stays that last until she doesn't get the meds she wants.  I got a call that she was in hospital the day after another hospital was looking for her bec6she walked out before they finished her treatment for abscess from injections, ( which she denys).

I saw her Friday, got a call from her health care, she was kicked out of ER at Kaseman for pulling out IV.  A very nice person JUV, waiting with her, I told him I have her meds an $5.00.
She tapped on window,  I ignored her, JUV thanked me.  I left.  I texted him and asked if she had any clothes, he didn't know. 
I got her 2pants, 2 shirts, hoodie 3 pair socks. 
She looks terrible , is getting breathing treatments every 4 hours.
Saw her today, took her waffle stompers, she complained,  the nurse asked why she has abscess on both hips. I thought it was obvious,  gail made a shooting motion at her arm, I remarked that she uses dirty needles.
I dressed her, and remarked " I usually take your pants off, not put them on"
She asked how much money she is getting for her birthday,  I said none, she got unhappy,  and I left. 
I was having lunch with E--.
I missed her call, a cell phone call came in, I couldn't hear.  I knew what happened,  but waited,  called at 6pm.  She isn't in there anymore.  I told E-- I'll probably have to pay for funeral. if she lives to my 60th. I'll be stunned.
