Yesterday was the first day I hung around the shelter all day. I talked to a Legal Assistant and scheduled an appointment to apply for SSI/SSD and I saw the doctor about a physical issue that's been bugging me.
We were ambulance central yesterday as several people were taken to the hospital for various reasons. One of my dorm mates was seen "shooting up" in one of the bathrooms and then lied to everybody about why she could barely hold her head up or keep her eyes open. We haven't seen her since and when she does show up she will be discharged from the center.
The most devastating thing to happen in the past two days happened to a guy who lost his daughter in childbirth on Thursday, then lost his girlfriend yesterday because they couldn't stop the bleeding. The saddest part is that he had been banned from the hospital so he didn't even have a chance to see his daughter or his girlfriend before they were taken from him instead, he stayed mind-numbing drunk for several days.
