So now I find out that my blind guy isn't being properly cared for

and I'm pissed.
He depends on a cab to take him to & from dialysis, about a 30, 35 minute ride. The cab shows up late in the mornings, leaves him stranded in the afternoons quite often. HIs B/P was dangerously low last week & they just dropped him off at home & left. He had to sit outside til he got able to even get inside his house.
Yeah they get busy, I get that, but his transport is already paid for and he's ill, ffs.
Then I find out that he has to depend on some Meals on Wheels type organization to get a decent meal in the evenings, but ONLY Friday evenings.
WTF???
So, I dug out my diabetic cookbook and I WILL be cooking meals for him, not a damn bologna sandwich or frozen pizza.
AND I'm working on ME being the one to transport him to & from Dialysis.
I don't understand people doing a half ass job with someone who is this ill.

@Tumbleweed 😲that is shocking and disgusting way with a person with multiple problems to be treated

@smiler2012 It makes me furious. Don't worry, Ima get him straightened out. If they don't wanna care for him properly, they can just go away.

@Tumbleweed it may mean taking on a lot of responsibility but this is a very admirable thing you are doing taking this on due to the failure of the sysdtem and lack of care and compassion

@smiler2012 It'll definitely put more pressure on me but this man deserves and needs more than what he's getting.

@Tumbleweed 🤔i really admire your kindness as this goes above beyond and above that to take on the failings of the systems that are suppose to help these people
