Mother Had A TAVR Procedure In February Of This Year.
Mother had a TAVR procedure in February of this year. We believe she suffered a stroke although hospital staff said she didn't. She has difficulty using her right hand, i.e. can't press pen down hard enough to write her name, can't snap her fingers on that hand, her speech is not what it once was. This may not seem much but I can see a difference. She can't stand up straight and has to have assistance in walking. For the most part she has to be wheeled around from point A to point B. She can walk with a gait belt and holding on to a walker but at that she is wobbly; I understand she's weak. She is on Hospice but has surpassed the time doctors gave her to live. On this program she cannot have therapy because this is not a curative program. I am looking for some in-home therapy to maybe help her achieve some goal to be self sufficient at some point. Can you help me? This is misleading. Didn't know payment was required. Very disappointing. Thank you.
