Well around Jan 10th I was asked if I would be willing to fly from the UK back to the USA ASAP. Why? You ask, well long story short back in Dec my father had knee replacement surgery that went well to start with but he quickly developed an infection that was missed for weeks by doctors and emergency room staff! Which led to him having to have emergency surgery to save his life due to infection. My father was worried sick by the doctor telling him that this will kill him and he wanted the grand kids and myself here in case he did die.
Now the good news is he is still alive however he has a picc line in and I am now his nurse for the foreseeable future he is not out of the woods yet he is on iv antibiotics and he hurts like hell which is understandable.
There have been a few possible ideas thrown around before I came to help my parents and those same ideas are being thrown about a little bit more. I will say tho there may be big changes coming very soon if things go the way everyone is hoping they will.
With that said though I will have to extend my stay here in the USA and I know we cannot fully afford food i.e conversion rate from £ to $ if my husband sends me money and my parents are on a limited income so I have had to make the decision to try and get help plus try and find a job so I can get off help. I don't make that decision lightly either so in the coming weeks/months I will be focusing on how I stretch a very limited budget for food and what if any help I have gotten. Getting government help when you need it is not shameful in fact I find it very humbling!
