Blink | Jake Haendel's Story
11. One-Hundred Pound Baby

Actually, that's the only reason I have any photos in that video of me dying in the hospital. That's from her. This goes all the way to when I can verbally speak again, and the divorce is starting to get real heated up. And Eli's back in my life and we'd have like different visiting times. And she said this one thing to me. I was like, I don't know why Ellen is, is acting like this.

11. One-Hundred Pound Baby

She goes, well, honey, think about it. Your life is getting a lot better and her life is getting a lot worse. And I was thinking about that last night, and I'm like, in the scheme of things at that time, like, my life was no picnic. And it still isn't, quite frankly. But that was odd, and then it was hard for me.

11. One-Hundred Pound Baby

I was like, Cindy, I have a lot of love for you, but I think we shouldn't speak anymore until the divorce is final. And she started crying. And she was like, I want to still be in your life. And I'm like, just until the divorce is final. And then I'll reach out. And I did reach out. I mean, I don't know if I ever told you this. But before we were married, we were all the time.

11. One-Hundred Pound Baby

Cindy would call me and be like, can you tell Ellen to please unblock me? Like that's how enraged she would get. And she'd block her own mom. So the fact that Cindy would come and visit me, she knew she was really betraying her doctor's trust. But I was thinking last night, that is a weird thing to say to someone who's still bedridden.

11. One-Hundred Pound Baby

Your life's getting so much better and hers is getting so much worse. I mean, I know very little about her when I think about everything as a whole now. It's like I fell in love and we never spent a day apart and we were married like three to five months later. That's crazy. It's not crazy, but yeah. Okay, maybe it's crazy. It can end good too, but it didn't end good for me.

Well, I guess in the scheme of things, it did. I'm reconnecting with people. I'm starting to put pieces together like a puzzle. And I had a crazy thought and theory about how maybe she had something to do with my hospitalization.

The more I started talking to people and hearing these things that were happening not in the room I was in, that theory started to go from crazy to closer to a possibility. And then, unprovoked, I get a message from a guy. Who happened to have the same theory?

He wasn't capable of doing anything without asking someone. He had no control of his hands. So any letter, any email that got sent, somebody did it for him on the computer or on his iPad. I remember, I mean, you just start learning the system, you know, phone calls to different places and can you help? And so many false leads where you think like, Oh, I found the people. They can help.

And you get there, and you don't qualify. You're not sick enough. You're not poor enough. We only do people who are, you know, right-handed or left-handed. You know, it's just, boy, what a nightmare. I mean, it took months.

So the rules on how the government pays is that if you're in a facility, the facility gets your monthly check and then the facility gives you $70 a month for incidentals. What happened was that Elle had been his representative payee. And then when he went into the hospital in Western Mass, she never signed over to them like that they could be the payee.
