Well...here we go again. I decided to change Bill's health insurance provider during open enrollment which went into effect Jan. 1. Then I found out how many things including his bed and home health care provider would have to be changed. The plan we have with Evercare seems to be good insurance but the customer service department is a nightmare. Long story long I was advised that I had cancelled a better insurance than I was going to.......so on Jan 5 I started working on the reinstatement of Evercare.....I think I finally have successfully navigated the system. But as a result Bill has not had the professional therapist here since end of Dec.

Bill and I agree that his progress with the therapist was not progressing. So since I had already caused this nightmare maybe some good will come of it......we are getting a new home health agency and a new physical therapist.....the nurse has been out to evaluate Bill. He passed everything with flying colors even his heart rate has increased from the mid 40's to high 50's or low 60's which is a 1/3 improvement since his being in the hospital back in November I think it was. The new guy is 6'1" the nurse said he is very strong. We are hoping that he will bring new ideas and attack from a different angle and maybe we get Bill some more use in the leg and foot.
I'll keep you updated.

The response to our coming home for a visit Feb 12-16 is wonderful. Just know if we don't get to see everyone........we do miss you and hopefully in the future will be making more trips in the future.

Love Ya Ruby
