Bill called me last night after arriving home, and he said that Mom had another decent day. She slept quite a bit, but was comfortable and able to manage pain well. She's not strong enough to be discharged, but she's at a point where the care of the hospital is really more than necessary, so Dr. Hunsicker is talking about having her go to a rehab facility for a while.
The case manager is going to be checking on available bed status today, and will be contacting my Mom's insurance carrier to see what's covered. I'm guessing that even if her medical insurance doesn't cover it, the cancer insurance she purchased from AFLAC might, so we'll have to check into all the angles. Speaking of which, if you ever have the opportunity to sign up for cancer insurance at work, do it. Mom paid just a couple dollars per pay for it, and it's paid out thousands already. It's a good thing that little voice told her to go for it because I'm sure this experience would have been much different without it.
