Morning, Im just up about 45 mins. ago. I need to stop those flexarils. They really knock me out. I need to get motivated here to get dressed and go see Tom.

Good Morning Granny!
If this helps any,
If Tom is in rehab and doesn't attempt the therapy they request of him (walking etc) they can kick him out because insurance won't pay. Because rehab is for people that are able to to do this
And yes, he can get kicked out after his allotted time that Medicaid is giving you, but Medicaid can also override it.But don't see that as a negative. It just means this is not the right place for him.
What you need to do;
Tomorrow call the number on the back of Tom's insurance card. Tell them everything including this place has no extra Medicaid beds, tell them he is walking some but needs help. Tell them EVERYTHING.

What you want from the insurance company-
1) A list of Medicaid rehab places that they DO cover in case he needs more rehab
Ask them what/how long they cover rehab.You need this info from THEM, not the nurses.
2) What home care services they cover in case you need to bring him home and what help they offer in getting your home ready (hand bars at shower etc)
3) How they can help you if he needs more care at a retirement village.
A big load will be lifted off your shoulders just knowing. Your insurance is your best friend right now. They do not want Tom to be 'kicked out' . They make these rules because they want him to get the right care. They didn't want someone to be forced to walk if they can't- but apparently he can, he just may be slower. Meaning he may need more time in rehab. Don't fear Medicaid, in my experience what seems like terrible rules are actually rules put in place to protect our most vulnerable people who can't answer for themselves. Often times, insurance get more helpful information from Loved ones then Drs and nurses.
They can ask the Dr to put in writing what you just said and will override their own rules. But you have to make them understand.

Once you have this info, you can call other rehab places with Toms info and plan ahead if worst case scenario you need it. But don't sign papers.

Every states Medicaid has different rules. They can not take a house you are living in. I don't know if they can place a lien on your house in Indiana. But if both Tom and your name is on the title, they can not claim your share. Right now is the time to talk to a Medicaid lawyer who also understands estate law. Only a lawyer can remove Toms name because he has dementia. The house could not even be sold as is because Tom can't sign.

oh my gosh thank you so much!

You are very welcome. I'm a crafty type person, too. I like to quilt and do hand embroidery. I don't do as much as I would like because I keep busy with gardening and preserving what we grow.

But you got some restful sleep didn't you? Maybe it is just time to take one and sleep in your bed again. Evict the dogs to their crates. They'll survive and you will too. I can't take flexaril as it makes my heart beat funny. I use Robaxin. Ask your doc what she thinks best for you. Robaxin doesn't make me drowsy and helps a lot with back and shoulder cramps. I've fought with shoulder and upper back cramps since I was 19.

I slept about 7 hours last night and crashed for 2 more after breakfast. After lunch I started a small project of building a banquet table mounted frame to support grow lights for starting vegetable seedlings. I've had a break for some fluids and going back out for about 20 minutes to finish it. Sunshine and very calm winds feel good.
