Movement again today, but I am still in the hospital. The next step in the appeal process to my insurance company has been completed (a peer-to-peer review between one of my doctors and one on the insurance side) and now we are waiting on a final decision.
I have been working with the physical therapy team here to improve things as I can, but I would be making much better progress if I were in rehab.
Beyond that? They took the last two drains out this morning. The only thing I have left attached to me is a wound vacuum, which I am probably going to go home with regardless of when I get there. I am on IV antibiotics still warding off the last of this infection, and the edema I have had seems to be largely under control.
I still have a lot of recovery left to do, but I am getting there.

Yes you are. Was hoping they had moved you today,
What does the wound vacuum do? And how long will you have to use it? Sounds interesting. Glad the other drains are coming up as they have to be uncomfortable,
Uncle Mike called me again today and he is waiting for rehab to but doing good. Always so,upbeat he wanted your phone number to call you and I told him when you are ready i will let him have your number. He sends his love and a speedy recovery for you. McGreevy’s are tough
Have a good evening and hope they move you soon.
I am so glad you are doing better and making progress. Health insurance companies are the worst. I look forward to the day when we can get back together.
Hang in there Mike! Getting rid of the infection is a major goal. Rehab will come…..be gentle with yourself and persevere! 💪 Looking forward to you getting home!
Fucking insurance companies.
