Hello again
Today I spoke with the occupational therapist regarding mom's seat. We spoke about mom sliding down,leaning to one side and the sores on her bottom. How this ROHO cushion might be of benefit to mom. First it is filled with air and will conform to mom' s bottom. Making mom feel like she is seating on air. Very comfortable.
The OT is going to write a recommendation letter. So I can submit it to mom's extended health policy for reimbursement of 80 % of the total. If they approve it. I am not sure if I already sent in a receipt for a cushion or not. If I did, I don't think they will reimburse me again
We decided that this is something mom should have.
So now comes the biggest challenge.
The cushion is very expensive. Like $589.00. Yes that is right. I looked at them the other day. Plus tax of course.
I don't have that kind of money. Do any of my readers wish to contribute to this cause. That is the price and I could use some help with this.
Other wise mom's sores on her bottom will never heal. As they haven't yet. When they do heal, within a few days they are back. This is something very serious, they can get infected and then there are going to be problems.
This is to make mom more comfortable and to heal her sores. This way they won't come back.
Mom is stuck in a wheel chair. She can't get up and walk about. This is her life.
My address is listed and I will post the receipt.
I am going to pray that GOD finds a way of helping to get this cushion for mom. It will make her life so much better.
I do have a pay pal account. Never used it before, so I am not sure if one would just look up my name or what.
If any of you wish to help with this, mom and I would greatly appreciate it.
I am going to do my best to do something to find these funds.
I am just worried about mom and the sores on her bottom. Nothing they do is correcting the problem. So this is the only way to solve this.
It is to much pressure on her. The cushion she has now, is just to hard. You try sitting for hours and hours on a cushion that is hard. It would be like sitting on a wooden chair for 8 hours, each day and everyday.
Mom is well this day. Happy to see me, as I am happy to see her. It is a hot day here, so mom was especially thirsty today. I am glad I have many different drinks for her. Including ice water.
And she ate and ate. Plus lots of fruit. A mango, papaya and a gold kiwi And was ready for bed. But first I read more of her book, The life of Pi. It is just getting exciting.
Please, if you can, help out. Or just pray I find the funds for this cushion.
I am done begging.
GOD bless all of you and have a good night
