I received a call today from the facility that was supposed to do a power wheelchair evaluation for my sister, who is no longer able to walk. I made the appointment 2 months ago and was so looking forward to taking her on Monday. I felt that this would be a positive step in providing independence for her. Today, just 5 days before her appointment, they called to cancel and said they don't take her insurance. They had 2 months to look at her insurance. Now...we are back to step one. I am devastated and can not even tell her this news the day before Thanksgiving. I wonder if the people that do this realize that 2 months is a LONG time for a patient with ALS... Now I need to start over....who knows how long it will take to get an appointment and power chair. Sorry to whine...I was just so looking forward to being able to do SOMETHING to help her. I feel like I am really letting her down....
