littlewolf's Journalwife is home from rehab
got wife home on Monday (happy little boy here)
home health care stated we needed a Personnel care physician
no one around here was taking new patients.
2 drs were ... one said we could come in NOV.
and the other one stated she would look over
her record and see if the dr would accept her
as a patient.
another Dr. told us I don't do insurance.
its 50 bucks a month, unlimited office visits
I make house calls. if I send you out for tests
that is when your insurance kicks in. (we have tricare)
but I practice medicine not practice insurance.
we paid 3 months in advance.
(didn't have to... wanted to.) she called home health care
and told them she was my wife's Dr. and to start taking care
of my wife.
thank you for my heart
I don't know who you are but thank you
it has been a rough 3 months ....
Nov 12 wife got a cortisone shot 3 days later she is in
terrible pain ... 5 days later she can not walk and can
barely walk ... got to the ER they can't find anything
7 days later back to ER this time by ambulance.. MRI
shows something on her spine ....
off we go to the main hospital ... her white count was north of 55k
and it has been hell since ... 3 months in the hospital and rehab.
thank GOD for Tricare ...
we had all ready met our catastrophic limit...
so she had a bacterial blood infection that attacked her joints
her spine, her neck, her shoulder, a couple of others l don't remember
so they cut and washed everything but the spine.. the nero surgeon didn't
recommend cutting that .... she can feel her feet ... move her feet
just can't stand without help and of course no walking...
still going down this path.... she is my life mate so I go to work
drive an hour to the hospital... spend time with her ...go home
pay bills clean and cook for the week... and crash ... and get up the
next day and do it again ....
I just needed to vent .... thanks and thanks for the heart
I can not return the favor but thanks .....
hug your loved ones often ....
