General Bert has been in the hospital for 48 days. Admitted on September 1, he spent 34 days in the Critical Care Unit where he survived:
.
Aspiration Pneumonia
Pneumothoria (Collapse of the lung) on both sides
Pleural Effusion
Scepticiemia
Glomerular Necrosis leading to total renal failure
Endotracheal Intubation
Tracheotomy
.
He spent about a week in a telemetry unit where his vital signs were measured remotely 24/7 and then was sent to a pulmonary floor (a step down in nursing requirements and a step up in his progress toward health).
.
Then his tracheotomy tube was apparently displaced and, in the space of about 45 minutes, his tracheotomy canula (tube) was removed, he was intubated, the tracheotomy opening was probed with the ENT guy’s finger, another trach cancula was inserted and he was extubated (meaning they took the tube out).
.
He was sedated for all of that and then transferred to the ICU because of the sedation and placed back on the ventilator, which he had been off for much more than a week.
.
Now he is being weaned from the ventilator again so that he can breathe on his own again.
.
He has survived all that and, I am totally convinced, will be able to recover fully if the treatment does not kill him. The question now becomes not whether he can survive modern medicine (with my active intervention, of course!) but whether he can survive Medicare.
.
You see, when we married in 1994, General Bert and I were told that we had coverage under something available to military people called Tricare 4 Life. Don’t bother to enroll in Medicare Part B, we were told, because it is a waste of money.
.
Fair enough.
.
So we didn’t.
.
Now, without Medicare Part B, there is apparently no Tri are 4 Life coverage. Who cares? Without it, there is no one to pay for rehabilitation. And getting it now will cost a minimum of $30,000 in back monthly premiums.
.
What happens to General Bert if he does not get rehabilitation? The worst. He is a physical and pulmonary cripple who dies because he cannot afford dialysis and other care.
.
Surviving the system is a lot harder apparently, than surviving the illness.
.
What can you do? Simple: you can make a generous donation to help us defray those costs of enrollment and then tell everyone you can reach that they should do the same.
.
You know what a leader and strategist General Bert is. Because Tricare 4 life did not train their people well, and because we got bad information, we are not facing the loss of this vital and productive warrior.
