"Emergency"

My father has been hospitalized with two collapsed lungs. I hate to even post this anywhere, but... circumstances. x_x

Ouch.

They took my own Dad in for a collapsed lung last December. He's made a full recovery since then, and more than, but it was really touch-and-go for a while.

Hang in there.

4. "Update"
In response to message #0

They're doing surgery on Tuesday to remove a huge tumor from the side of his neck (as well as any other ones they can find), but there's a complication - a pseudomonas blood infection. I gotta be honest, guys, I'm starting to wonder when the blows are gonna stop falling.

Adding insult to injury, the hospital wants to put him in physical rehab afterwards... but they don't think his insurance will pay for it.

Jeez, the excitement never stops. :/

FWIW, state implementations of Medicare are a dicey proposition these days, but I know Maine's has a provision in it that makes people with disabling conditions eligible when they otherwise wouldn't be. Your state might have a similar thing, buried somewhere in the bureaucracy. Could be worth checking out.

6. "Update the second"
In response to message #0

He's come through surgery okay. They have him in ICU overnight, and intend to put him in a normal room tomorrow. The blood infection seemed to have cleared up before surgery, which is odd; pretty much everyone except the doctors think he got it the night we took him to the ER and they put the tubes in his ribs. The doctors are saying he came in with it, which sounds a whole lot like 'We know it happened this way but we're going to say it didn't so our asses are covered' to me. (Our local ER does not have the world's best reputation for cleanliness.)
