I hate to kvetch, but this is all so new and something I didn't think we were going to face for another 10 years or so...<BR/><BR/>BHD: I think the insurance pays for a home health aide for a couple days a week...which, really, is all we will need if the PT ladies do a good job. We only have a few hours a day when no one is home, and I've already set up a couple friends and neighbors to look in. I talked to her boss about her working from my house part-time while she recuperates.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I went back this morning before work, to visit. They were falling all over her and she seemed somewhat content and even a little ornery. This is a good thing. <BR/><BR/>The PT director told me her goal is to have Mom in better shape when she checks out than she was before she hurt her leg. At least they're going to basically force her to quit smoking, exercise daily and eat something balanced. That's progress right there!Beaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124824392519962306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31259652.post-72090580167092890142007-09-26T13:36:00.000-04:002007-09-26T13:36:00.000-04:00Which is why insurance companies should be private...Which is why insurance companies should be privately-held non-profits and not beholden to shareholders. Factor profit in there and the customer is going to get screwed every time.<BR/><BR/>But ease up on the guilt. This isn't an option. She needs what she's getting now. <BR/><BR/>And don't forget about getting help at your house when she moves in.bhdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745845682132788731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31259652.post-5587112014492458992007-09-25T23:44:00.000-04:002007-09-25T23:44:00.000-04:00*hug**hug*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31259652.post-45083411685062723622007-09-25T23:32:00.000-04:002007-09-25T23:32:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry, Beth! *hug*They (insurance companie...I'm so sorry, Beth! *hug*<BR/><BR/>They (insurance companies) have the ability to kick us when we're down and worried about those we love and we are helpless in their clutches.<BR/><BR/>I know that many of those people are just doing a job to make a living for their own families but there also seems to be a certain percentage of sadistic @$$wipes who actually enjoy making people suffer.<BR/><BR/>There must be a special level of hell for them.<BR/><BR/>My thoughts are with you and your mom.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305972933959570916noreply@blogger.com
