Spouse with cognitive problems and finances

Will does have a problem with swallowing and food or liquids going down the wrong way. I am making an appointment with a referral from our Primary Doctor to an Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat doctor because of his difficulty swallowing and he also has a hearing problem.
Probably have to wait months before seeing this doctor, and the same with his Cardiologist.
Anything serious comes up before the appointments, we will go to the ER, already flooded with COVID patients.
Such a terrible breakdown within our medical system.

Bill has hearing issue as well. I had a cochlear Implant done in winter of last year. When it is off and Hearing aid off I'm pretty well deaf. Robin gets a kick out of our 'strange' conversations as neither Bill nor I can make out what the other is saying. Then when his speech slurs it is really difficult!
