Constantly fielding calls about my mother.

Been 30 days since she was released so now is the day I get the SOP BS about how today she is healed and ready to match up with Michael Jordan one-on-one.

Medicare has schedules, such as "broken hip - pay for 30 days". So today she loses her Physical Therapist. Just once I would like one of these services to be up front and tell me "Medicare pays through 'whatever date' and so what do you wish to do? You can continue to pay for services out of pocket or else we have to drop treatment."

When she was in the hospital they told me her target release date was so-and-so, that she would be healed by then. She looked lousy, I could not figure it. Mentioned this to a lawyer friend at the Wake last month and off the top of his head he told me the schedules Medicare uses for her problem.

Just worked out a deal with the Therapist who called back. He'll work on his own time for the same fee Medicare pays.

He made me an offer I could not refuse; welcome to Soprano-Land.
