My understanding is that the doctor thinks the surgery was a success, but doesn't really want to anything further with my father.
That's why were on the lookout for a rehabilitation doctor. I would've known about such a thing, but I've read other people on here talking about it previously. I'm under the VA system and we don't have such a thing. Well, down here in Tampa we have a spinal cord clinic in our primary physician is a spinal cord Dr. therefore we don't have need for a rehabilitative Dr. Thanks, On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 5:22 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > You might check with Medicare in his state to determine if he has > reached his max and what they would suggest for further physical therapy. > Did his doctors agree that his surgery was successful?
