I feel for you but do you really want to go see people that wont lift a finger to help you? I cant see how this is going to be any fun for ya. Take a lil trip in the area with a caregiver or friend, at least you can enjoy your time away then. ron c7

I have lost track of the number of e-mails and phone calls in regards to finding some personal care during a visit! After a e-mail campaign this morning, one of the agencies informed me of a huge stumbling block in regards to hiring any agency in the state of Arizona without a local physician of the state no care can take place! I was already planning to pay out of pocket for the care, but without my family stepping up to the plate and no volunteers to speak of either?? Churches or nonprofit organization and even nursing schools have come up with nothing. I'm not respiratory dependent or critically ill,just a simple bed Bath and a suppository every other night. My next plan of attack is craigslist or finding a hooker on the street corner without the bureaucracy? Knowing my luck I would pick up a undercover officer and then the jail would have to worry about my care. I'm only talking a one-week visit and my family are just idiots for not helping out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated especially those individuals based in Tucson. Thanks
