His coming home is great news.

VERY IMPORTANT!
BEFORE he leaves hospital, get the treating Dr. to prescribe Home Health Care because he must have (or have had) face-to-face consult for the Rx.

Contact your medical insurance carrier, medicare advantage plan, &/or medicare for their coverage requirements.

Here are some links for requirements info on Home Healthcare under medicare & advantage plans:

If any Freepers live near you, you might get some additional help occasionally or in emergencies from them.

I hope all this helps.

Prayers up for you and your husband.

He has an in home physical therapist coming.
I’m near the point of falling down myself.
He’s stressed about bills and getting back to work ASAP and driving me to the point of whatever comes after total exhaustion.
He hates being “ helpless” and resents asking for help.
He’s already getting around better than expected but is far from “normal “ still.
This morning, on top of everything else, my laptop died so I’m pecking this out on my phone.
I’m starting to really feel cursed.

:-(

Thank you for all the links.
I’ll look at them and see if there’s anything else he can get help with.
