A huge thank you to all for your insurance advice. As always, a great help. Some good news at last. Melissa has no heart blockage. She comes home tomorrow and goes to Louisville on Monday for defibrillator surgery. Thanks for your continued prayers.

I don't know how long it takes to get the medicare going, I think each state is a bit different...I would inquire thru medicade/social security or disability lawer office...I'm not sure exactly who to call in KY> but try a computer search of these govermment offices and i'm sure they will help you out, also A social services helper in your area may be of help...Most hospitals have workers there you can ask.

It leaves much to be desired. It converts to Medicare in two years when I turn 65. My question is can I be declared disabled and get Medicare now? I inquired about home health making a daily visit to dress my wounds. The cost was $750 up front and a 30% co-pay. I can't do that....at all. What do youse guys think? Btw, wife Melissa has heart cath in the morning and is scheduled for defibrillator on Monday if cath goes well. Prayers. Thanks.
