This is my first post on the this area of the forum. Although I had surgery as a child, I feel like a first-timer, because I’ve forgotten what happened forty years ago. (If you want to know my history, I did a post in the Revision Site on April 21st regarding thoracoplasty.)
Now, I have a REALLY IMPORTANT (to me ) question. I am traveling from Utah to NYC for surgery with Dr. Boachie on May 20th. After a week in the hospital, I am suppose to go somewhere else, but still remain in or around in NYC for a week. I suggested the idea of me going to a rehab facility because my insurance will cover that. The doctor’s nurse said that I’m unlikely to qualify, because they won’t accept me if I can walk 70 steps. I called Burke’s Rehab (highly recommended) and they agreed that I have to qualify to enter.
If I can’t go to a rehab facility, where CAN I go? An assisted living center? I have a daughter who will accompany me, but she is young (23) and tends to be emotionally fragile. So, I would prefer to go to some kind of facility. Any ideas?
