Insurance continues to be a road block. After the peer-to-peer meeting they had yesterday my team is not convinced that they will approve the acute rehab. Lisa filed a personal appeal this morning but it seems highly unlikely I will be going to the rehab center.
So my team has started the process of getting me home, where I will have to go to outpatient therapy and have a home nurse come visit to help with IV meds (if they send them home with me) and the wound vacuum.
Best case scenario a decision will be made one way or another by Friday and I will be coming home before the weekend. If it doesn’t, I will almost certainly be here through the weekend.
They are finally moving me off of the ICU and to a private room on the medical floor. I will have more freedom of mobility there (in the ICU you have to stay connected to monitors 24/7), and will hopefully be able to sleep better.
I am frustrated, but thankful that I should be out of here in some fashion in the next week.

I am glad they have you on the med floor and will be able to move around better. Will they set up all the home care from there with nurses and equipment? Will Moffitt take over some of the care from here?
I know you will be glad to get home and I will glad you will be closer. I know you will not have any one come visit but at least I will know you are home. Prayers for some comfort and peace knowing you have come so far in this crazy journey. What you have gone thru both mentally and physically the last two plus years has taken so much out of who you are and now you can come back swinging. Maybe not too fast but the turtle won the race and so will you. So proud of you..
