Linda I’m so sorry to hear about your Medicaid problem. It is so difficult to find and keep good CNAs! I’ve had one private attendant for six years, and even though she has her problems, it’s great that she knows me well. My other two attendants had been with me for about a year, so I’m for the shoe to drop, because a year is about all they last with the agency. By then they realize they can make more money privately.
I am a C4, so I don’t know if I would be eligible for tendon transfers. But I’m going to talk with my SCI Dr next week about it.

Oh my, yesterday my Nursing Service had a manditory meeting with all of their home health aids. This makes me sick, They sent no letters, although I talked with Jorgiene the owner yest & she said that I should have gotten 3 letters. My cna & I do mail everyday, we pick it up then open after dinner. Anyway, my case manager has tried very hard to get me on Medicaid Waiver & finnally last fall. she got me on it. Well our N.Service is dropping Medicaid Waiver, claming they are several months on payment from Waiver. She said, she has lost thousands of dollars. Well it's our crummy governer Mitch that has changed the laws. We in IN have to get busy & ditch Mitch out of office! They can give $900 million to build a new stadium but they couldn't give funding for all-day kindergarten. It's a rotten shame, where these politicians heads are! Anyway back to me, My CNA's can no longer take me to my Dr's appt., cannot take me out shopping or pick up my meds from my pharmacy. I save the government money, by having Liz take me in my vehicle & use my gas, during the time Liz is here to take me. I'm sick about this, sorry guys I just had to vent!
