Mother in law has been in rehab after having coronavirus and being in the hospital. She lives with my brother in law and sister in law about an hour away from us. She was supposed to come home 2 weeks ago but BIL informed my husband that she wasn’t ready yet. When my husband asked when she was coming home my BIL got nasty and just said “don’t worry about it it’s not going to cost you a dime”. The only thing it’s costing is a lot of aggravation for us! There’s an issue with him having spent the money she gave him under the five years look back. We held onto it. So the way it’s been going is we pay half her expenses and the rest is his problem. So for him to have said that and the way he’s being very closed mouth about it ... I’m left wondering what kind of help they might be able to get so that the bill is paid. He was promised 28 hours of aid 4 hours a day 7 days a week and kept complaining that he needed more than that for her. Really puzzled here and he won’t tell hubby anything about what’s going on. Any ideas anyone?

As to the thing about getting more coverage? It CAN be done, and they often work round things in mysterious ways. When my bro was in rehab he was covered for 21 days and during that time the folks in PT said that, due to balance issues, he had come as far as he was able. HOWEVER, the doctor at the hospital wanted him in rehab for one month, until a followup scan on a brain tumor (to be sure it was benign, not growing). So they kind of fudged around with his needing more time for wound healing (a scalp wound). He was fully covered for 30 days because they did this. So they may be playing with codes and numbers, and that is the way of it all.
