[QUOTE="Steely, post: 440311, member: 3301"] I had not thought about the medicaid thing like that Janet. OR is extremely progressive, but I am not sure how much so. That is one of the reasons I am glad Matt is moving there. The local mental health community there is outstanding. I know in AZ Matt can get medicaid - but that law is changing in Oct., so that single people without children cannot get it. It baffles me that I could not get it, when the unemployment wage here is below poverty level - but such is our economy. I will get started on the SSDI and that should move Matt's stuff along. I know Matt can do the Dr searching on his own, I think. I guess he still acts so much like a 14 yo I wonder. I am leaving this move completely up to him - he gets to do all the packing, organizing, cleaning - and seriously that will overwhelm him beyond anyone's imagination. Some of it has to be for my attention only - but - it is still so hard for me to tell which is drama and which is true emotional issues. I KNOW he is not medicated properly - and since there is not a psychiatrist here - that will be the first thing that happens when he get to OR. It is good to hear that there are Uhauls that are big enough to have a back seat available. That is very good news. Plus I realized that if I am towing my Jeep then one set of dogs can ride in the Jeep as long as it is not too hot. Diesel and Steele are inseparable brothers - so they kinda like to stick together. However - the last time I moved - my dad was driving and I got sick and we had to pull over. My dad accidentally let Steele out the door of the car and he almost died as he ran into the freeway. My dad tackled him on the median - it was horrible. So crates for all are a good idea. And I was thinking the same thing after I posted this - that we should just move all at once. I might not have a place to stay yet - but at least me and my things will be in the right vicinity. My mom has rented a huge storage unit in Portland, and all 3 of us have stuff from the house in Dallas in the storage unit (whenever MIA moving van arrives). However when I moved to AZ I downsized BIG time. I even got rid of the couch and moved to a futon. So I might just stick with what I have for awhile and keep the Dallas stuff in storage until I have enough money to have a huge house (if ever). Sigh....and of course there is the job thing. I have to find something. Thanks for the support and encouragement, I need it.
