Fam, I talked about this in the first few pages of this thread.. and I'ma bring it back up, cause I wanna feel like I'm speakin it to existence.
My niece got in a BAD car wreck on Labor day. We think she had an episode due to her diabetes.. and she rammed head on into an incoming Dodge Ram (she drove a Kia Forte) Car was rubble. She aint have insurance since she got laid off/furloughed from her job. She's still laying up in a hospital bed. She's been awake for a majority of her hospital stint, but in over 9 months, they never did a single rehab stint for her. So she was just layin there 24 hours a day.. other than when me or my mom, her father/my sister would see her, and we'd move her fingers and legs. Just to help her not stiffen up. Anyway.. the hospital been tryin to get her out because they 'need the bed' ..
They transferred her to a rehab facility, and they had to bring her right back to the hospital because she couldn't breathe. (She's got a traque in) After a couple of days, they sent her to the rehab again.. and again.. she was bothered, but we didn't know what the deal was. (She still cant speak) Turns out she had Pneumonia. They ended up transferring her to another (better) hospital.
But this is why I'm writing this.. since she has medicaid, they're only going to pay for 3 rehab treatments. 3 TOTAL. She's got MONTHS of 5 day a week treatments that need to be done. And they cost $125 a pop. Thats $625 a week we're gonna have to find for her rehab.
So when dudes are sayin 'I NEED this..' .. I hope ya'll hit. Because i KNOW what NEEDING is. She's only 27 years old ya'll. She aint even lived yet. This HAS to happen.
been down that same road breh. I know what your going through. The insurance companies are the fukkin devil. Try to have as many people visit her on the daily. Those who can spend the most time with her should soak up as much game that the therapists can teach you. PT, OT and speech if she’s getting all 3. Learn some of that and when those visits dry up, practice it with her.
