So, to save some folks who sit around and become obese and get diabetes or smoke and are now on vents they are going to cancel those who were being responsible for their health and who NEED rehab to get better. She is in tears because she was starting to get better and is now completely unable to exercise on her own for fear that she is not being monitored and is terrified to exert herself alone. How in the hell cab anybody justify this at OLOL? SAVE THIS CoRONA GROUP AND KILL THIS HEART SURGERY GROUP?
This whole Corona issue is so insane. We have less than 8k deaths in the US . How many people like her will die and not be counted as a victim of Corona?

Put her in a nursing home
They are still accepting new residents & the physical therapists are so bored they are helping serve meals to the residents

That’s sarcasm, the CNA’s & kitchen staff quit showing up

Me heart attack too in 2020. 98% blocked on the widow maker . You take the pills. You make the lifestyle changes. All of my appointments have been postponed. I am doing self care. The medical facilities can worry about the serious people. I must cowboy up and handle my business.

Is it possible to have a therapist come in to the home? I don’t know, just wondering.

Sounds like she has a serious preexisting condition for which exposure to COVID-19 could be fatal. Justification enough for you?

Last Monday, my surgeon called me personally to tell me, my surgery scheduled for April 7, was still a go, because there was a risk of further nerve damage if not done, soon. Then by Friday my surgery was postponed indefinitely. My wife works in the hospital and it is almost empty. They seem to be saving room for all those expected COVID patients.
