She did go home. For a few hours. Then found out that she couldn't afford the co-pay on the antibiotic she's on. As long as she's in the facility, her plan pays for the med, but as soon as she's home, she has a co-pay. In this case $1,000--yes, you read that right ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS--a month.

Of all the cockamamie places she could be. . .  She went from Thursday to Tuesday without a shower. She sat for one hour in the physical therapy room, waiting for a PTherapist. When she announced she'd been there for an hour and was going back to her room now, one of the dimbulbs said "Oh, I didn't know you were my patient."

The only thing that ever happens there on schedule is the meals. Looks like Marian and her son will be having Christmas dinner there. Or maybe she can get a day pass and they'll go to a restaurant. However, the guest charge for meals is more than reasonable. Dinner would be $3.00, and I defy you to find a decent meal anywhere at that price.

So Merry Ho Ho Everybody.
