I know that Nick is running into lots of bureaucratic barriers here, but I'm confident that ultimately he will succeed.<br><br>It is never an easy decision, and I hope you are finally able to get the help and support you need, along with everyone else that needs it. And I really, really hope that the CCA becomes a reality instead of the pipedream it seems to be now.

Wait until I die? This is outrageous and totally unacceptable. I have lived at the New England Sinai Hospital and Rehabilitation Center since August 14, 1990. I have tried on several occasions to get out into the community, but have had no success. Having had failure after failure because the organizations that were supposed to made mistakes and I got too overwhelmed and backed out of leaving the hospital, I gave up for the past 6 years. I have become so accustomed to living in a hospital that it's extremely difficult for me to see myself living in the community one day. Being scared of living in the community has not been very helpful. Today I made a tough decision, one that I really hope I will stick with. I contacted my local ILC and informed them that I wish to start looking into getting out of the hospital and into the community. I just hope I'm not too late. If the government would just take the initiative and fully implement the CCA, other people like myself would be spared having to live in an institution for half of their life. I sincerely hope that the Obama administration reconsiders the decision not to include the CCA in their health care reform. Wait for what? Wait until I die?
