My old Workcover took over my case again from my new case manager. He approved an initial 14 day stay. And can be extended if my psychiatrist recommends it.
Hospital has a bed ready for me at the same clinic as 10 or so days ago.

So I packed my bag, rang the hospital to check they got the approval letter. yes. But because it's a 2 & 1/2 plus hour drive (with my mum driving) - I can't get there in time tonight before admissions close. So mum will pick me up around 7.30 am & take me to hospital.
It is a huge relief. I feel safer in hospital at the moment.
But I had to beg them to approve it. The new case manager is out of her depth when it comes to MI. Like a lot of Workcover staff. Thank God my old manager took over.
I'll be safe tonight. I'll call Lifeline if I need to. First time calling them today. The lady was great. Kept me on the phone until my psychiatrist was due to call. Was just what I needed.
Still haven't slept - even with the extra prn meds at lunch time. Brain in overload. But am relieved I'm going back to hospital tomorrow.
