Benner Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Today's the day I'm finally out of Rehab. Just waiting on my Discarge paperwork which should be around noon. Went into Riverside on the 4th not even being close to being able to walk and now I can walk fairly easily, still not perfect and I need someone around incase I lose balance but it's getting better every day. I'll be continuing with out patient therapy and a work hardening program for the next month or two till I can safely return to work. I can't say enough kind words about Ohio Health, particularly Riverside Methodist Hospital and Ohio Health Inpatient Rehabilitation. They've both been amazing at taking care of me and insuring everything needing attention was addressed. The social workers have also been busting their butts making sure the insurance aspect of everything is being worked out. The main problem was that I had only been with Chesrown for 3 weeks so no insurance and my wife just changed jobs as well. Ohio Health took it upon themselves to get me Kobra insurance from Tire Discounters (had left just before starting Chesrown), and also working on setting me up with Medicaid. I hate having to rely on state or Federal Aid however, without it I'd be looking at over 100,000 in medical bills, so I'll take the aid for now since I'm eligible. I'll be off it as soon as possible though. Gonna be a long road ahead but I'll be back into my normal routine soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Congratulations on the steps (no pun intended) forward from rehab! Sucks about the bills but your health is far more precious...TAKE THE AID if you qualify. Keep us in the loop on your progress!:thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I guess I'm out of the loop. What happened? Basically in the hospital for 25 days between riverside and inpatient rehab due to an autoimmune deasease testing away the myelin sheath on my nerves in my spine and brain.

What he is NOT saying is that as a result of that inconvenience, he lost the ability to FUCKING WALK, and is training himself to do that shit again. That's big boy shit right there.

Mensan Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm glad to hear that you're on the road to where you nee to be. I hate having to rely on state or Federal Aid however, without it I'd be looking at over 100,000 in medical bills, so I'll take the aid for now since I'm eligible. I'll be off it as soon as possible though. It's awful that someone who needs aid feels guilty about using it. The fact is, situations like this are exactly why it's there. We focus far too much on political issues rather than the reasons for having the social programs we argue over. Accept the help, and don't feel guilty. The help is there for this situation.

Benner Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks everybody. Feels great to be home. Stopped in at Chesrown and they were all excited to see me. They can't wait for me to get back just as much as I can't wait. Got 2 to 3 brand new pretty bays all to myself. And the new inground twin post lifts are unbelevably nice. Also can't wait to get my hands on that pretty inground Hunter Elite rack with all the new toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Disappointed to see politics in this thread. Good to hear the news Brian. Don't waste a second worrying about the assistance. It's great to see aid funneling to the exact cases it was intended for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
