Ray, I guess the PT runs on a calendar year. I had exercise bands at home, huge ball to sit on for balance (didn't master that at all!!) and other things and ended up going to PT 2 days a week and then 1 day a week to stretch out the benefit. I did PT at home as well, my wife being my spotter. I went to PT for several years in a row, I knew the 15 exercises, in exact order and for how many minutes. I walked around PT with the timer in my pocket. The core strength is important but with back issues in L-3 to S-1 area, concentrating on core strength is difficult. I'm also rather tall and I find that can be a problem with some exercises as well.

Good morning, Ed

My insurance runs on the calendar year, whether it’s an Aztec or Mayan calendar, I don’t know. My doctors’ requests for a specific service, however, such as sepsis care and physical therapy I’m currently receiving, are honored by my insurance for only short (e.g., weeks, months, or number of visits) terms. The terms, if the doctors make an appeal, are renewable.

For example, the term under which I’m currently seeing a wound care doctor at the local hospital once a week and having homecare nurses and physical therapists come to my home expires on Sept. 3rd. This is already a renewal, and I doubt it will be renewed a second time. The wound care doctor seems ready to discharge me.

I’m sooo looking forward to being discharged! On the day a wound patient is discharged, he’s escorted to the front desk where he gets to ring a big brass bell. I can hardly wait to ring that bell!

Have a good day, Ed.
Ray
