    Pam, that’s wonderful to have the legal stuff behind you. Does the settlement cover medical expenses and still leave something for you? I would hope so. After all the other driver put you through, you deserve money for pain and suffering.

    I haven’t made out well with PT at all. I spoke to the receptionist yesterday and she told the local facility only had one therapist and current patients haven’t discharged as rapidly as they thought they would. When I went there a couple years ago, they had 3 therapists and sometimes I went to their other facility where several other therapists worked. She also said patients no longer are guaranteed the same therapist because of staff shortages. They probably wouldn’t get to me before October or November. Based on that I’ll wait and do the therapy in FL where I did hand therapy. It’s pretty disappointing.

    Helene, that’s disappointing that the PT options are so poor in your area. Hopefully you can get in soon after you arrive back in Florida and get a good therapist.

    After paying the attorneys’ fees, expenses, and repaying Medicare and my supplemental carrier, I will end up with about half of the proposed settlement amount. It’s a low to mid 6-figure settlement and it will help us a lot, especially if DH requires memory care at some point in the future. That’s the main reason I kept holding out for a better settlement.
