Still waiting

G was to have dialysis this morning, but then there were some more critical patients
who needed it first, so he will have it this afternoon.

I guess the Dr. said depending on what the blood results for the INR and hemoglobin
count will determine if G can go home today. His INR needs to be over 2, but he went
from 1.8 to 10 in one day last week. Hopefully if it's even close to 2 they will let
him go home.

It will be better for both of us. His blood pressure gets too high from all the stress
of being in the hospital. I get exhausted worrying about him, and going to the
hospital all the time.

We will have to pay for wheelchair transport to get him home. I am not risking him
injuring something getting in and out of the car.

He gets wheelchair transport through the VA, but this hospital stay was not through the VA, and medicare won't pay for wheelchair transport. The transport company suggested I see if I can get the VA to pay for this, but as today is Columbus Day, the VA is closed. It
costs $45.00 for the transport, but hey, it's only money.

Medicaid would have paid for wheelchair transport. (medicaid is for poor people, or perhaps I should say, "economically disadvantaged")
