My brother-in-law, Mike, is disabled.
He was born with a form of spina bifida that left him handicapped. Two years ago Mike dislocated his elbow. While in a cast from the elbow dislocation he fell and broke his arm just above the cast. He got a life threatening staph infection and as a result the waited 8 weeks to treat the broken arm. He had two surgeries to repair the broken arm but there was nothing they could do for the 2 major nerves that were also severed when he broke is arm. At the time that this happened Mike was living with 2 horrible people who took his whole SSD check and did absolutely NOTHING for him... Including not signing him up for Medicare.. Mike came to live with us this past Thanksgiving and we have been fighting to get him help and get him on Medicare.. Finally we made headway with Medicare and he will have Medicare part A & B come July. Unfortunately we just learned that Mike will need to have another surgery. At this point it is still up in the air if they will be able to repair his arm or if the will have to amputate it. Mike will be having his first surgery on April 15th to remove the pins and the plate from his arm that have some loose and arm floating around inside his arm. The doctor will then completely emobilize that arm with a cast until his next surgery which will most likely be sometime in June. If you have more questions about Mike's condition feel free to ask me..
Mike's doctors say to not worry about the medical bills that one way or another they will be taken care of but when he comes home he will need a portable potty (our only bathroom is upstairs), as well as some other things to help make his life a little easier after surgery.
