Yes, my insurance does cover home healthcare, and I did have two different visiting nurses come over. For the most part, and I hate to say this, but it's the truth, for the most part they were totally inept. I can also have an aide come over, but I'm sure he'd balk at that. I have arranged for friends to stop over intermittently, bring him to AA meetings, or have meetings here and that had worked for a while. I'm beginning to think that this is a reaction to me going back to work. I will tell him that research has shown that things will begin to improve. Meanthile, we see the radiation oncologist today and I'll have a few questions for her.
Thanks again.
