Bette report:
Bette came in early in case Dr. Morris came in to see Mike. Michael did some PT and then bath and wound care. Dr. Morris came in and removed the cotton roll from under his eyes. They talked and discussed what the situation was. Dr. Morris was completely surprised to learn that Bette and Mike did not have a home to go to yet. The case manager gave him the impression that Mike could just go home with Bette. When she explained the situation and the homeless shelter to him, he seemed very understanding. He said he would evaluate his grafts, etc. Sunday or Monday and we could make some arrangements then. Probably, Mike will go to the guest house with Bette. There is an exercise room there that he can do his own physical therapy and Bette can do his stretching (if he doesn't bitch too much). It will be close for follow up appointments. It sounded like Dr. Morris wanted to keep a rather short umbilical cord on him and keep a close watch. Anyway, things don't seem quite so grim at the moment.

(I am still upset about the insurance thing and lack of medical card...I want to get the email for the insurance guy in charge and will pass it on to all of you so we can email them and express our feelings about " you met your insurance limit...you're on your own now, bye")

More later,
and so we go
