Rang my lawyers yesterday to ask when conciliation for reinstatement of WorkCover would be. He rang me back this morning. They don't know. They haven't received a date. I said have you called them. He said no, but I can ring them myself. I rang ACCC and they said they will be in my area of country Victoria on the 14th & 15th of September and my name is at the top of the list. What?????
My mortgage is on hold - under financial hardship - & that end on the 31st of August. The day after I'm expected to pay back the 'on hold' missed monthly repayments. I can't do that.
Why do they have to make everything so hard? Keep kicking me when I'm down. No worries or hurry for them. They are not trying to live on Newstart Allowance. They are not fighting to breathe. How hard it can be to draw each breath.
So angry. Keep being promised a bed - a proper bed here in hospital - one that doesn't have a foam mattress - where your body sinks & then you can't roll over.
The nurses told me they could move me to a new room in a new unit/ward. I went up, had a look at the room (made sure it was a proper bed) & said yes please I'll take it.
I go downstairs to my unit and say yes I'll take it, please ring the nurse upstairs to confirm me moving. They said the nurse that can do that is at lunch but when she comes back, she will do it.
So I go to my room and pack my bags again. Take down my art work from the walls, etc. I'm ready. Walk pass the nurses station and they ring the other unit to confirm I'll take the room. Nurse comes back and says - they gave the room to someone else. What?
Trying not to hit anyone or scream the place down. So bloody angry.
