Good Morning,
Last week full of ups and downs ups were Chris pedaling the bike on his own regularly, arm work doing about 60 % on his own very good considering the spasms in the right arm.
Water treatment great relaxation that is always good even on a bad day.
The down side is it will all end August 31st as this is the day they have scheduled Chris' treatment to end here thinking it will be carried forward at home.
Truth is nothing that was supposed to be in place, is even close, as the lawyer seems to find every excuse in the book to drag out applications and dealings with the agencies that just cant see past the end of their noses.
I received a call from the social worker from Surrey to say they got word from Ponoka that Chris will be coming home. Next was the question, what will we be doing as they don't want him in the hospital, I explained that we have been trying for the last eight months to get approval for help at home as we have a plan to get him out, but all of this to no avail.
It would seem Health officials (and I use that term very loosely) seem to think that as long as ICBC is in the picture they will not accept any applications or allow access to any programs.as ICBC should pay.
The money left in the ICBC isn't enough to pay for half the equipment needed. So Fraser health has said he must go long term facility or we will be charged $900 a day for his care.
If we agree to go to long term we will lose any rehab money from ICBC and any rehab that would be provided by Fraser health which we already know is non existent.
I can not figure out whether the people who are running things are just that stupid, to think they are saving money but forcing situations they have created rather than giving help with getting people out of their care and home with family where real healing and therapies can take place by those who know what they are doing.
If anyone has contacts to media or news I would love at this point to tell the whole story not just the accident.
Thanks for the support it is what keeps me sane.
Kevin
