:-( Bob was supposed to be home by today. Now, the social worker says they want to keep Bob in observation for a few weeks. AAAAAA... If so, I want him transferred back down to Roseburg. He is not going to be too happy about that tidbit of news. He's continuing his PT and OT. He is still doing fine today. Update: Bob will be returning to the Vancouver VA for observation for at least two weeks. The neurosurgeons want to do three more CAT Scans on him before they "clear" him for going home. They want to make sure there is no fluid build up, which would require the shunt to be put back in. Also, because of Monday's surgery, Bob has become weakened, so, he'll be working on PT for his extended stay. He can not come back to Roseburg to be observed. Should anything happen, he'll be too far away (Roseburg is a three hour drive.)
I got some other news today that is disappointing. There is a new drug for MS that is supposed to help with speed while walking. The cost is a little over $1000 a month. My prescription plan will cover it; however, not for three months yet. The drug was approved by the FDA in January; it became available in March; but, it's too new for the drug company to cover it. They may 90 days from now. What's the hold up? It was approved by the FDA. Why does the prescription company have to approve it?
