I agree Jeff. The current system is what is doing this, be mad about that. I am sorry that your family is going through this. We learned that lesson a long time ago with my great grand-mother regarding the insurance.
hang in there. kat

I'd thought I'd just add that the "current system" is broken precisely because of government, insurance, and the bloat of all other bureaucratic interference between doctor and patient. More bureaucratic excess a la' our incompetent overreaching fed ain't going to help one little whit.
Politics...I think if nothing else everyone could agree that there are problems with the system that we have. In the US for whatever lame brain reason, no one wants to help anyone else, they only want to look out for themselves.
So if this is the way you want things to continue...do nothing. Gripe that things aren't fair and that nothing will change to help you. Then they won't.
Vent done.
I hate things that are bad for you. I would like things to be different for you.

Ok, so reading back over several pages of my posts and GOOD GOD!!! How do you people tolerate me for a second? There's never anything good. I think I've forgotten what good is. There are just too many bad things surrounding me and it makes me wonder WTH I did to deserve it. Then again, what have I done not to?
Ahhh....there's the question. Hmmm....I'll have to think on that one a bit.
Mom is being released from the hospital today. I've been on the phone with the social worker this morning arranging accommodations for home. They will provide her a rolling walker. There is that at least. I've been calling medical supply houses around the area to try to find a used transport chair that I can get her. I found some online through a clearing house for a good price but I need it.....TODAY. Can't do that on the internet. I just keep telling myself....one step at a time. Stop thinking big picture...it's overwhelming and stressed me to the max.
Last night I walked 4.5 miles in my living room. It took me an hour and 20 minutes. Of course, that is in rhythm to the Walk it Out music on the Wii. I'm becoming obsessed with it I think because I just walked for another hour today and did 3.5 miles. It's fun and a great workout without being super high impact or massive amounts of sweat so I don't have to make sure I have shower time afterward. A quick once over and I can still go the rest of the day. SWEET! I save the elliptical for high sweat times.
C this afternoon regardless of what time they say they are releasing mom. It's not that long or that far away from the hospital so they can just wait. I need this badly!

It is easy to "tolerate" you because we love you!! I didn't mean the vent personally. Just in general. It always is one side griping about the other, just work together and fix stuff already.
Oh I am not even going there!! Caught myself. Good job on the workout. Things will come together. They always do just keep having faith.
hugs, kat

I am pulling them together very S L O W L Y.....:)
Mom is home, I went and bought a transport chair for her yesterday so I could get her in the door. I managed to pull a muscle in my back trying to get it in the front door. I definitely need to get a ramp. She's weak, unable to get out of bed on her own or to the bathroom or her chair. It's awful that she is stuck because I'm not home but I really have no choice.
I just got the number of a hospice care that might be able to point me in another direction for more assistance. We'll see.
I'll be honest, there is a part of me that wanted her to be put in an inpatient facility just so I could have some time off and actually be able to take Marc somewhere during his spring break. I feel so bad that he has to not have any fun because I'm stuck. Of course, then I feel bad because I would even think that. This is my lot in life and I have to accept it......*sigh*

I would think that they would be able to point you in the direction of someone that may help relieve you. I am sure that will remove some of your stress. Thinking of you.
