Hi Dad!!
Please call me when you have a free minute.
I'd like to speak with you before I speak with Social Work about the prescriptions for DME (Durable Medical Equipment) eg Grab Bars, Rollator Walker, Wheelchair Rental for 6 months; Hip Kit etc.
Karen claims she wants to speak with the Social Worker or Discharge Planner which ain't going to happen, period.
She then asked to speak with you since you are my Health Care Proxy (which she is still mad about)
They put it through to insurance and I have a hard copy of the prescriptions in my hands.
We may also need to speak with Seth since there is no ramp and the building is not ADA accessible. Obviously, I'm not the best person to communicate with Seth regarding this issue but I also cannot open or navigate the fire doors in my wheelchair or walker.
They expect me to use a wheelchair in an abundance of caution because I am an extreme fall risk with a Berg Balance Score of 16. You need to be a 51 to be cleared to walk with a walker.
I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and will have to go alone which has me extremely concerned for obvious reasons. I also need to see my primary care provider this week which is the same provider Karen drove me too several months ago after discussing it with you lol.
I am making excellent progress (much better than expected) but the stress and pain is unnecessary and complicating my recovery.
I am now home bound for 10 weeks with the brace on until Urakov clears me with radiology.
I have additional radiology ordered in Boca this week or next and I will arrange medical transportation for that.
Please advise as I will be speaking with Social Work tomorrow and Karen identified herself as a social worker and bypassed all the HIPPA and security blocks because she's so damn fucking charming (oy)
Spike with Ray for quite some time yesterday and he will be hack by the end of the month which is a huge relief and lifeline since he sees Karen for what she is and has the balls to call her on her bullshit; however he is still grieving the loss of his daughter and I don't want to put to much pressure on him.
I call him "Uncle Ray" now because he has been tremendously good to me throughout this drama that started shortly after I moved here in October of 2012.
Love you. Call me.
