A mopar brother in bad shape !

I've got a funny feeling that my 3 daughters are going to treat me like his is doing :( You're a good man for what you're doing! Don't know if you're a man of faith but this is what the good Book teaches.....
 
Thank you guys it's getting a bit easier now. I got a system going with him . He says he wants to stay at home and doesn't want to go back to hospital or rehab. And beings he's a hard headed sea bees I can't tell him no! Honestly he's extremely determined to get back to not needing help. And I've already taken back seat on a few tasks that he couldn't do yesterday. He's one hell of a guy and a fighter! The therapist said she would ask to double his at home visits for him so we could keep him at home . He likes this idea. So it all seems to be working out well ,minus the *** hole guy that left him at the hospital and never came back for him ,when I see him next ..... no freaking respect. Well all in all its a positive out come and we found out who's really friends and who's not in it for the right reasons. The v.a. said they will assist as they can ,if he needs them he's more then always welcome. I'll have to look to see if there's any other sea bees around that might perk him up to sit and b.s. with others. I'm only so good as I'm 50+ years younger then him but I'm a military freak and ww2 is one I know alot about so he likes talking about it.one of my grandfathers were army air core in ww2 ,the other navy but he didn't talk much about it .
 
Cranky it's funny you say that I was brought up going to church I got away from it ,then work got in the way ect. I still don't go but the more things that happen like this to me I'm starting to see a trend. I pray ect. But no church ,I don't feel it's necessary as god is all around us not just in a building. I do believe we crossed paths for a reason and that's why I'm doing what I'm doing because I feel the big man upstairs sent me this task for a reason. Why me I don't know but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
 
I want to thank you for your generosity and compassion for this Vet.
To give you some insight, the hospital really could not kick him out, what they did with regards to the way Medicaid sees it and how the hospital is paid was he "was discharged to community". That does not stain their record sending him to a SNIF ( skilled nursing facility)
Which is underhand to say the least. If you are willing and it will be a lot of work, but if he wants you to be his executor of his estate, you need to have a medical power of attorney. He has to be in his right frame of mind and have no cognitive impairments.
Then I would contact his case manager at the hospital and let them know what is going on, how underhand the discharge was...I would then let them know you are going to file a complaint with CMS, that should be enough to get something happening quickly! No medical facility wants them investigating anything!
Then contact your local news outlets and inform the insurance company you are doing so.
His doctor should have prescribed PT as No one can have a hip replaced and not need some therapy...
Do you know what kind of insurance he has? Sounds like you are trusted and have his intrest....You have a lot to think about...Praying for you both!
 
Well I myself don't like making things into huge things but I think I need to agree on this one it wasn't right a vet is one thing they should be treated like gods in my opinion with out them we wouldn't be free! But just the sheer fact that a group did a slide of hand and put this old man on the curb is disgusting . I was reading the hospitals compliant board and they sure are going down hill quickly. Sad part is even if I get the news it will just get changed around to make it sound like Obama care is the greatest thing in the world as I noticed real news doesn't get played on t.v. anymore . (That's a complete other problem we have to deal with soon!) His insurance is freedom care witch I believe equates to Obama care . I'll say it again I will stand side by side with this old man till he's ready to punch the big time clock and if we can stier up some s*** in the process why the hell not. We don't leave anyone behind I was taught.
 
And another thing they bruised the living hell out of this old man there's marks all over his stomach and lower from the straps from surgery I guess . Everything by or near his hips are extremely bruised his dong and balls are black as night now so is his legs and his side . The nurse and therapist today couldn't believe how bad he was,everything is swollen . He just called me over to his house again he couldn't get his foot out of his shoe that's how bad it was.it's a sad time we live in we take care of these foreigners that are killing American s ,houses,cars ,money,free school. But a poor 80+ year old man that has nothing can't get a little help from his government that he protected.
 
Your a good guy, your age or lack of it,
IMO has nothing to do with it...
Morality & honor are ageless, you have them or you don't...

I say honor his wishes, "If you can", you'll have to decide that,
IMO if you're his friend, he trusts you seemingly &
it sounds like you are his trusted friend, he is yours...

IMO you can get a lawyer involved too, or online legal stuff if need be,
especially in setting up a "living trust" too, at-least a consultation anyway...

He can make you the "executor of his will/trust" too,
you divvy out what he wants, to who he wants it to go to etc.,
you don't need to receive anything if you or he doesn't want,
you just oversee with a lawyer if need be {appointed if it goes to probate}

I'd tell him to do what his daughter did,
get a restraining order out on her ***, you or him
may have to/usually have to attend a seminar/school {here in Calif. anyway}
keep her away from his property, bank accounts, credit cards etc.
make sure to call the banks, Dr.'s anyone she could conn
& protect his belongings if he doesn't want her to access them...

The health stuff sounds like the VA & Medicare
"probably should at-least cover most of it"

You can get "in home care/nursing" even thru Medicare
{I believe anyway, maybe call them & talk to a rep. &/or research it online}

If you're not in a financial position, "to help him that way"
be honest with him, he can take it I'm sure...
Just tell him "straight up, you will help him out, in other ways,
when you can other than financially...

Not sure how much more I'd could help you, or him...
Other than hope the best for you & your friend...

god luck & I hope {don't know his name} gets better
& this is resolved sooner than later

I've seen medication &/or combinations of specific Rx's can cause
some of the bruising looking stuff too, it may not be the hospitals fault
"at all", especially in elderly patients...
I saw it with my aunt, uncle, grammie, granddad, my dad & my mom,
you touch, or just help to lift them out of a chair etc.,
even seemingly very minor contact with them, seemed like
"they'd bruise", almost or look like bruising, when it's not....
I'm not sure what it's called, but there's a term for that too...
The leaving him in piss is wrong, understaffed & overpriced
many cases now, Obamacare subsidies/blanket coverage,

on system fit all, caused BS nonsense...

see ya' Dr. Budnicks,
sign off for the second time today...LOL

There are those that talk about it and those that do it.

I appreciate you for doing.

Well got to go get him he says his leg and feet are numb and he can't get out of bed so it's a short msg I'm off .
 
He's all good he was shell shocked from pain .
By the way his name is pete! And he owns a 1968 sport fury conv
IMAG0993_BURST002.jpg
318 car all org 2 repaints he's owned this car for 48 years

Oh geez! Someone needs to be horse whipped!!
 
In around 79 I looked at a 69 Vert for 2500. It looked like it was a mile long looking to the back from the driver's seat but I loved it! The X didn't like the car so it stayed where it was :( I'm about sick of women......
 
Overall good day leg and feet swelling was bad but I think by next week he will be 80% atleast now we need to do something about the other guy that left him at hospital he found out today about 3 hours ago he was home and got pissed and went to see him the old man called the cops I had to go explain the situation to them the guy left on his own they told him if he comes back he's getting a rid to jail for harassment. Now the old man is sleeping with his 357 on his pillow just in case . This makes me so made people do this crap
 
OK we are finally getting better I think he got out of bed and made his food today all by himself! He says he still hurts but that will not go down for another few weeks. We. Also have an appointment with the v.a. on Thursday so that's good but we might not need it by then . I think we're in the clear now but I'm not popping the cork just yet.
 
Good job. We are proud of you.

It is absolutely imperative that he keeps up with the physical therapy (PT).
 
OK guys. Today was the day we visited the v.a. hospital and his surgeon. The v.a. was less then helpful basically his options are move to an assisted living facility . No other help could be offered they said . So he was less then happy with this option. We left before he caused a problem. We then saw the a hole that cut on him . Again what a p.o.s . He basically told the old man your fine this is normal go home and deal with it!
He is getting better every day but hopefully he will be able to handle him self before my surgery I don't know who will take care of him why I'm layed up healing
I don't know guys. I was hoping the v.a. was the answer. I guess we just keep on going and hope it all works out .
