Our family advocate found some funds available to help families like us and the county is buying me a bed. We're going tomorrow to find one. If I'm not on a saggy mattress on the floor I'll have more post-operative comfort. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!

My doctors suggested a care facility, Medicare will pay for it, but I can't leave Jayden & 4 dogs with someone for two months. So I have to make home as comfortable as I can, which is quite the task. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!

Medicare will often pay for home health/PT/OT following surgery if you're approved for the care facility and opt out of it. - Kristin

Angie helped me move stuff around, we worked hard today & I still have some of that manic energy where I want to CLEAN ALL THE THINGS but I'm utterly exhausted. Just popped a couple Tylenol & I'ma give sleep a try. Hopefully I'll be able to finish my room & the living room tomorrow. Keep me in your thoughts & prayers, if you don't mind, & I'll talk to y'all lovelies tomorrow <3 - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!

You're in my thoughts. - Kristin

You're in my prayers. Have all of the restful sleeps :D - Jennifer Dittrich

Kristin, that's a possibility I just learned of today. which is why the surgery now looks possible after years of paralyzing fright. The recovery from my other operations was nightmarish. I have let that keep me from even thinking hard about more surgery, no matter how much I need it. it's time to stop doing myself like that. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!

Wishing, hoping and praying for the best outcomes for you, Starmama. - Friar Ticket to Ride

You're so smart to plan ahead! Not everyone that can, does. You are definitely in my thoughts. <3 - Yvonne from FFHound!
