Course Change, SMS, and Recovering What I Lost

Starting with this blog post, I will be posting about recent events and what has occupied my thoughts recently.

No More SMS Blockage

If you've been following my blog since at least the end of August, then you may well have read this blog post, in which I mentioned that I've been unable to receive SMS messages for quite some time. This problem has since been solved, so I can receive SMS messages again. To solve this problem, Simyo has done a SIM reset, which cleared the blockage. I am still wondering what caused the blockage in the first place, but at least my problem is gone now.

Recovering What I Lost

The shock that led to this blog post has also led to the loss of a lot of information. Starting today, I will do my best to recover what I lost, hopefully without the mistake I made previously.

I've been doing my best to follow my heart and reach my girlfriend Cori. Unfortunately, I have thus far failed to secure the help I need, because of the conviction that I would never be able to make ends meet in the USA. This prompted me to make this spreadsheet and, as much as I hate to admit it, it does look like the prediction is correct.

OK...let's take a step back and look into going on a vacation to the USA first. What would I need to take with me for that? Here are some things I need because of my disability:

pincers
cath. bag
a box of catheters
14 slips
wheelchair

...and then there's clothing for that long.

I understand that it's hard to see how we could make ends meet, but I was hoping to find some willingness in my family to see how this hurdle could be overcome. Instead, all I got was "It will not work.". So, here I am, trying to find a way to make ends meet, since that would address said concern.

What else can I do...?

By the way, you're welcome to read about the work I could do.
