life help: HELP, (texas) - Help.com

What state are you in?

no, not really. i don’t see how you could afford brain surgery, but not the rehab? maybe her home country would offer her help. in the US you’re pretty much screwed even if you’re a citizen. the only hope you might have is some type of church or charity.

How was the surgery financed?

that’s all you get here and you will still get billed like no tomorrow. best bet is to talk to the social worker at the hospital and see if they can refer you to someone. if you want any service you will be paying with cash or on credit. your other option which isn’t so great is you can help her at home– consider looking for books on brain injury recovery.

you might try looking for some type of agency that helps migrants such as:

It’s a hard thing to face, but, you have a good aptitud; and it hepls a lot. it’s a very bad new that people don’t want to help as much as they did before; but thank God she is not alone. god bless you, boy. May the Lord to guide you in everything you are going trough.

Even people with insurance often end up with minimal coverage for rehabilitation. No matter what help you find, home recovery will be an important part of her ongoing recovery.

How able is your mother to participate in her own rehabilitation? Aneurysms and strokes are very odd in how they can wipe out some functionality (such as speech), but leave other cognitive functions untouched. Is she able to understand and help to plan her own recovery? If she is able to at least participate in the planning, make sure that you involve her as much as possible, so that a) she understands the goal of each step in the recovery process, and b) you minimize the burden on yourself and her other caretakers.

Whether or not she is not able to actively participate to a significant degree, try to recruit other family to help share the caretaking responsibilities. Specifically, make sure that whoever the primary caretaker is gets regular respites (time away from caretaking responsibilities). As someone who has provided long-term care for a dying and incapacitated loved one, I urge you to arrange for support not only for her but also for yourself and other caretakers. It can be very rewarding to be able to help a loved one recover and function better, but it is also fatiguing, and setbacks can be very disappointing. For this reason, you must plan to take care of yourself so that you can remain strong enough to help contribute to her well-being.

Must stay working even part time, aim high and tell them your story at interview stage. Put down on paper what your good at to give the most you have to work to get it. Job hunt for a high paid job now…manipulate your CV put it out there and get a higher paid job. I know its not that easy…it will be harder when your stressed out more and down hearted. think positive and think that hard work and a real reason to work hard will sell you to employers. Offer more hours and get a carer. Dont end up resenting your parents. Its hard to live with.

good luck. You will come out of it no matter what stronger and wiser. Hope she makes a speedy recovery. It is possible so believe it, everyday.
