Short Bio

My husband had Parkinson’s symptom for a few years. In 2018 in went into the hospital with pneumonia and an undiagnosed super infection. He was in the hospital for the last half of 2018, coming home for a week, then spiking a fever and going back. He went into a rehab facility in late November. He had been having bouts of hallucinations and memory loss. By the time he came home, mid Deember he wasn’t sure where he was. He is now bedridden, unable to walk, and most days is not sure who I am. He had to be fed, is incontinent, but hedoes have hos good days, where he knows where he is and who I am. He came home with terrible bedsores, and is udner the care of a wound care doctor and nursing–all at home. While he was in the hospital I was there during the day, and had an aide also going back and forth. I ahve a privae hire aid, and put in the aid and assistance from the VA–he is a World War II veteran. This is a long slow process–since last November–and although we qualify, their errors have delayed this.
