Reply #9: The day my father died the financial administrator of the hospital called my mother [View All]

[snappyturtle]

and I into her office. She was brutal. My dad had SAMBA (Special Agents Mutual Benefit Association)government, insurance. They said it was running out and wanted to know if Mom would sell the farm....literally?

I was unaware it would run out too.He was 92 and never seriously ill until he went into the hospital!
My mother was frantic as was I and then the adm. told us Dad had signed a paper that there were to be no extraordinary efforts made to keep him alive. He died less than 12 hours later...he knew of the pressures coming. I figured we'd have to come up with some home care help.

When I worked in a nursing home I learned of patients that had to sell everything to stay there.

It's an awful place to be in...I feel so for you. :hug:
