Will Medicare or insurance cover visiting home health nurse? Maybe they would send an RN due to feeding tube.

My understanding is that one needs to be housebound in order to get home health. Once one is able to drive and is ambulatory, you have to go to them rather than care coming to you.

I am very glad to hear the feeding tube came out and sending energy and prayers to you for a speedy, uncomplicated and full recovery.

Best wishes, thoughts, and prayers for you. You have been through more than your share of difficulties over the last several years.
I also want to thank you for sharing with us, and to say that this is an example of how TUG represents the best of the intraweb. Although the focus is timesharing, we are also a community, where we bond as friends despite never having seen each other. Sometimes with bonds that are stronger than those we form in actual face-to face interactions. Too much of the web is fractious. TUG, by and large, is communal.
IMHO - the world could use a lot more TUG, particularly the spirit and community shown by you and others in this thread.

Just to add to the drama, the surgeon just moved my visit up to today. Today was a special day because I was going on a full liquid diet today. For two weeks I have not had anything but clear liquids. I had a puréed soup I was going to eat today. This guy keeps moving the goal posts. If he keeps me on this liquid diet, I will go crazy being hungry

I found out that I am extremely lucky to be alive and the head of head and neck cancer at UW really did me wrong
I have a hole between my sinus and gums because the cancer was over three and a half inches long. I have to be so careful because I have to get that opening to close. When it heals, I have to watch lymph nodes for spread.

Wow. We are all hoping for the best outcome for you.

Thank goodness you were able to get the care you needed now and there is a path to recovery. Praying for a full recovery and clear lymph nodes. Take care.

I'm so happy to see your post, I have been traveling non-stop for the past 4 weeks and this week I had 3 BOD presentations to give, and one of our BOD members from our European operations asked if I wanted a job in Europe, ahhh... not thanks ---- 4 more years and this gal is retired...
