Reply #47: The hospital seems to be pushing her out and they're not doing what they

need to be doing for her. She hasn't had any consistent physical therapy since she's been in there. She neads long-term acute rehab; she was evaluated by an regular acute rehab place last week and they won't take her because she can't tolerate 3 hrs. of physical therapy a day. She can't tolerate it because they haven't been giving her any at the hospital. The case worker at the hospital told Kristy that her insurance doesn't cover long-term acute rehab (we're skeptical of this, but the insurance co. won't discuss anything with Kristy - my sister had to sign a form authorizing them to talk to her). They want to send her to a sub-acute rehab place, where she won't get what she needs. Kristy's filed an appeal with the insurance company and hopefully she will get somewhere with them.
