I wish I had a sister like you. Unfortunately I am it. I just mentioned to Taci that my first step will be to contact our health insurance company and to let them know what has been going on. Hubby should be able to walk and stand again with the right physical therapy. The orthopedic group I am using have high standards and are well known. I also want hubby to be well. Still not sure if having knee replacement surgery are in the cards for him. He has the beginnings of dementia that could become worse with the anesthesia. However, he did do well with the urologist and I am hoping that in itself will help with the next move. He does need this surgery, but there may be other alternatives and therapy is one of them. Just for your info, I am fuming. I just go about the situation a little differently. I have found that losing your temper does not always work in your favor. Being calm and thinking clearly goes a long way. The physician that the Rehab uses may also be in the wrong and this I will also need to find out. Whatever the physician states is what they follow. As far as bringing my vacuum. It’s a hand held Shark which I purchased from HSN.. The LPN and I will be cleaning the bed area together. Hubby will be in a wheelchair supervising. The linens will also be replaced and the sherpa blanket I will bring home and wash and return it the same day. I will actually stop there after Costco picks up the Stearns & Foster that we are not keeping. The new mattress actually has a lip or whatever you call it that goes around the entire area. This should prevent hubby from falling. At least I hope so. Being there with whatever we need to prevent hubby from itching is easy. This way I know the job has been done. There will be no more questions.

Tuesday I have an appointment for van maintenance. Besides an oil change I will probably need new tires and headlights. I will also have them adjust the brakes. Hubby is concerned that they will try to sell me something that we don’t need. If there was a way for him to get into and out of the van I would bring him with me. He would love a day away from the Rehab. Enough said. I will keep everyone up to date.

@taci

Thanks for your concern. I will be contacting our health insurance company tomorrow. They actually sent a letter the end of October stating that if he had physical therapy five days per week they would cover.. Funny, in a sense that the letter took a week to reach me and by that time the Administrator said it was too late. However, the head nurse said he would see what he could do and thus today I found his hands were tied. Now it may be too late, but I will let our insurance co. know what has been going on. I feel that the Rehab wants him there permanently, but that will never happen., Hubby is starting to speak up and yell. I had to tell him to simmer down and that together we will make it work. He realizes that he needs to be able to get in and out of bed on his own and also to be able to either use the walker or the wheelchair to get to the bathroom. Unfortunately, our HOA does not permit us to have someone here 24/7. The most someone could stay is two weeks. However, that may be just enough time to get him moving. Thankfully, I left a message with the orthopedist. I will update as things go along.
