What a summer this is turning out to be. As many know,I need two more eye surgerys. Must postpone for a few months.
Hubby got insured at work. Oh what a time we have had. He was in the hospital and everytime we went to visit we got lost. Yup seen parts of the city I never seen. Probably will not see again.LOLHad to call my sister from Michigan to come stay with me. As not seeing real well,does allow my driving at night.
Anyhow,the day of the surgery .we get lost. We arrive at the hospital at 9 and hes not scheduled to go down until 10. so hes already downstairs and I was not happy. So a doctor says to me,I will take you down for just a sec. But stick with me and pretend we are suppose to be here.As never one of us are allowed in there.OMG Then the nurse tells us we need to wait in his room. Meanwhile come to findout the Chaplin was there the full time waiting for us in the waiting room.The staff never calls to say hubby is out of surgery.By this time I must leave to get our son. No one ever speaks to me including the doctor.I get home to get our son and there is several messages on my answering machine. Saying they will meet me in the hubbys room in 20 minutes or so. I have a 45 min.drive to get there,if Iam not lost. Yup right.
Then they release him and no medical supplies. Yup the company never delivered them here or to the hospital. So after calling his case manger they were delivered to the hospital by another company.5 hours later.This brings his release time from 1 to 6.He has a prescription that needs to be filled and started by 7. Well one store did not have them. I called Wal-mart who closed at 7. They agreed to fill them but weren't sure they had enough. Luckily they did.
Next he is told to call and schedule an appt. within a week. What a run around. The doctors office has a policy if its a workmen's comp. case you must schedule with there workmen's comp. person who they inform us is on vacation. Yup'I called the case manger and she tore them up. Got us in the next morning. She scheduled a ride for this as he can't get out of the wheelchair. The Medical company is suppose to be here at 7;30 for an 8:20 appt. No one shows up. So I call,they say they can't find the driver or the van and are sending another driver immediately. Yup again no one shows. The case manger call another medical company. They get him there by 1:00.
Mean while at the doctor. They tell him they can not put the cast on as he has fracture Blisters. Not sure what those are. They scheduled him another appt for the 19th. Then the first medical company calls to see how we liked there service. Oh hell,all I can say I became Pennywise and told them a few things. They said their records show they picked him up.
At this point I do believe I could use some balloons delivered by Pennywise.
My sister had to go home and see her doctor. As she is having skin treatments for Cancer.Hoping it all goes well. She said she made it home and seen the doctor and has several more appts.
Hoping our summer gets better and missing you all. Hope to get back on the board soon.

Wow, Lin...you and yours sometimes just have the worst luck!!! I'm sending more prayers for you all!
Any idea when your surgeries will be now?

((((Lin, Mike, Mikey, Lin's sis, the rest of the family))))
Possabily August or September depending when hubby is able to get around. Which also will depend on when they can put the cast on.

Damn. And I was going ask you to cook supper for me, clean my house, drive me around, and run a hot bath. With bubbles. I suppose that's out of the question now?
(((linda)))
You know I'm thinking of you and I hope everything works out okay. You're a good gal, it will come back to you tenfold one day!

Linda, sending a ton of calming vibes your way. Any possibility for some home care help-- that is reliable?
Perhaps but asking for help. really makes me feel defeated at this. Mike has taken care of me with my eyes.I feel I can do this if I just focus abit. His work place has been really good.Its just the Medical end and their policies
