Hi Karen, I know how difficult to take care an ill person, who can barely walks.I just found out , after we came back from Tampa, that he can have a nurse to come every oyher day to check on George and also a nurseaid, who will help him with the showering. He could have physical therapy come to the house also, but the doctor said not to, because of his spinal injury.Medicare ciovers all this, But nobady staying long , only 20-25 minutes, so I always have to ask somebody to stay with George if I have to leave the house. I hope your father will be able to have this services. How is he doing?I hope you and Kathy will be strong to help him with his treatments. Best wishes Kate
