rehab

28 Days…

Well Amikolle left yesterday for her new try at rehab.  I must say she did a lot of work to get where she is now.  She did all the research, all the phone calls, paperwork, you name it she did it.

She first applied for a place Bowling Greens in Pennsilvania.  After the place confirmed her by phone, that she could stay 20 days, with no co-pay and they told her she had to be there monday at 5:30pm.  We drove 80 miles into KKK County (drove by famous KKK town Rising Sun), and into the place.  When we arrived, the person there didn’t knew anything that was offered to Amikolle, she said Amikolle had to be pre-certed even if she was going to stay partially… Well it was a mess, so we drove back to Maryland.  Amikolle was a bit frustrated because she had gone through all this work and wanted to get help.  But the drive was fun and it relaxed her a bit.

On tuesday, it was hell for her, because trying to find if Bowling Greens was going to take her or not, and BG said that because she had no previous relapse with her current plan they didnt want to accept her offer and were demanding a ridiculous amount of money.  So I told her to fuck them, and to concentrate on the other place she was aiming for, a facility called Joseph S. Massie in Cumberland, Md.

At the end of the day in tuesday, Massie confirmed her pickup on wednesday morning.  The problem with Massie is that they are tighter than a chicken’s asshole for some things.  But its all for the best of the patient, which in this case is Danielle.  There can be no contact with Amikolle for the next 7 days, she cannot receive phone calls of any kind, and if she received one, it has to be a supervised one.  We can send her letters and postcards all we want…  Then after 7 days she can call us and we can call her only if we are approved by her counselors.  Then the following weekend we can go spend time with her, from 12 midday till 5pm.  But we had to go to an obligatory meeting that was like 2hrs.

I have not spoken to her since she was taken over there, but I am calculating that she will be there until Sept 24 more or less.

In the meantime I am going to pray, think of her and play Castle Crahsers.
