Molly Joyce 00:40
And then the last question is, what is interdependence for you?
Hava Fisherman 00:44
My opinion, is my opinion and me trying, I tried well. So thank you. Thank you for the question.
01:15
Well, I wondered, because Hav you've talked to me a lot tonight about you're looking for a new community support worker, because somebody who...
Hava Fisherman 01:29
Can I tell you, I wish I hired somebody that wanted to work with me on Wednesday, and Wednesday and Sunday. Well, the person that would read to me don't want that. So it's like, okay, you don't want money or anything. Saturday and Sunday. I mean, Saturday and Wednesday. Okay.
Megan Brandel 02:00
What she read to you in another way, or just about her schedule?
Hava Fisherman 02:05
She was rude about she wanted time off. Okay. And she didn't tell me. And that was rude. Okay, for me…
Megan Brandel 02:17
I thought it might have been a care like a caregiver. But that was a different connection. It's more about scheduling. But on the one about care, your mom used to, like several years ago, and in your interdependence, two, she used to care for you, but you've lived independently in a home of your own lately. And so,
Hava Fisherman 02:46
I'm trying to. Yeah, it's very difficult that I have one CSW that going back to school and one that having to add one that was wanting to work to me see that? She comes from CWI. So it's very hard for my mom, to, to me. 24 hour, 24 hours. So I'm looking.
Megan Brandel 03:35
Yeah, and you're like, you really need that care 24 hours from your community support workers.
Hava Fisherman 03:48
I went when I think did right here. I went. She brought her dog. And you're not allowed to do that.
Megan Brandel 04:05
Yeah. I wonder about like the question about strength. You do races in your wheelchair don't?
Hava Fisherman 04:15
Yes. Yeah. I'm done. Baseball, and races in my wheel chair. Which is very...
Megan Brandel 04:27
Yeah, that's fun. And then any other things that have taken a lot of strength lately? Maybe not with your body but in other ways?
Hava Fisherman 04:37
To find staff.
Megan Brandel 04:38
To find staff?
Hava Fisherman 04:41
Fine. That'd be very, okay, but I do it. Okay.
Megan Brandel 04:48
Yeah. All right. So sounds good.
