I finally fell asleep around 7 this morning. So so so grateful the guys fed critters for me today!
I hope you've gotten some sleep.
I’m getting lots of sleep now. He’s walking…but he refuses to elevate it like they said. He makes fearful, loud noises then mumbles under his breath so I’m not sure if it’s his hip, a cramp, or some other thing. I am so not up to the task…Now THAT'S a loooong, stressful day. I hope he's up walking by now. Supposed to be walking right away, correct ???
unless we paid $9000 up front they wouldn’t admit him?).
. We do have a "funding" department in VA to help those who do not have the cash assets for such. Same with meds.
You got all of it - at least from an outside point of view. But definitely hellish from your end. The good news - it's DONE! Just the recovery (yeah, not easy either) is left.
Agree, but at least we wasn't a jerk about it and go over board in the other direction. Maybe they've got therapy dogs at that hospital and that's what he's used to (no excuse though - he should easily have read the harness).
From what I gather, the so called insurance only covered $5000. We had to pay $9000. Plus almost $1500 for his CT scan, a couple grand for all his dental, etc. and I never had a surgery that we didn’t get billed separately from everyone else that stepped into the O.R.Is this your portion, deductible, whatever??? I'm hoping it's at least partly refundable. I'd be looking for state or soc services help on that one!!
those are expensive procedures. Hope TheMan is doing his PT work to keep things moving! Guessing he won't be horseback for a while
