[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The questions other posters are asking about type of surgery and duration of recovery are important. Similarly, your insurance should be covering an aide if it is medically necessary.

If it is medically necessary, and insurance isn’t covering it, [b]appeal to insurance but in the meantime hire someone for additional hours[/b]. You can say to your husband you feel like he’s not supportive of your recovery but you cannot force him to want to being you a breakfast tray if that’s not the way he feels. Don’t compromise your recovery waiting for an attentive spouse if you don’t have one.[/quote]

What if OP does not have money to hire that extra home health aide for additional hours? And do you know how long insurance appeals can take, PP? OP might need to fork out extra money she does not have for months and months while waiting to hear from insurance. Do you think even if she wins an appeal, it'll retroactively pay back what she's paid for that extra home help you so blithely advise her to get?

People on this forum can be so clueless sometimes about how hard and expensive it can be to get home health care, even for a few "additional hours."

And it's OP, not you, who will hear it constantly from the DH if he's pi$$ed that they spent more money on more home help. Even if he is the real reason they did so.[/quote]
