Still Here
9) Lisa has been in interviewing various home health and hospice agencies in the event that I am home and not able to do certain things on my own, or if caregivers need extra help. She found an agency that she liked called, “Hearts of Hospice,” and apparently they come to your house to help with showering, medicine, cleaning, etc. I am not sure that I am at this point, but it doesn’t hurt to look into it. The hospice part I definitely don’t need as of yet; however, they have a smaller sector that specializes in home health and our representative thinks that he can sneak us past insurance politics to use the hospice to do things such as running errands, making meals, cleaning, etc. This would all be at no charge. I met with them today, so we are just waiting to hear back from them if they can get it past the insurance so I don’t have to pay out of pocket.
It has been exhausting and a little overwhelming the past few days with all of the new information. In addition, I am in the process of working with a group called WhizBang Marketing to create a Web site based off of this blog, only bigger and better! We have also finalized our next fundraiser for June 19, thanks to Kelly and Julie who have worked to get this going.
