This is what Robbie Hatley says about his mom

The situation is still the same: she's still stuck at Seal Beach Rehabilitation. I was able to transport about half of her own clothing to her because her hospital room does have a small closet, so she now has things to wear other than hospital gowns. And I brought her her purse so she now has her ID and insurance cards with her. But she has no room to put any further possessions, so all the rest of her stuff is stored her in my apartment. And her eyesight and hearing both continue to be very bad. I've been trying to pressure the place she's staying to provide hearing aids and cataract surgeries, but without success so far. So, that's the situation.
I was wondering if anyone who has written has heard back from her? I am going to admit I have not been diligent about it. I guess it is time to load her up with Christmas cards and other greetings.

It is very complicated for him to get there, no mass transit out to there from where he is. He has to get friends to take him. He can talk to the home, but Patsie is hard to talk to on the phone, at least for me, as she really cannot hear. I suggest we send a card shower, but write large and with dark ink.

I was wondering if anyone had heard from her. I called her once. She has an awful time hearing on the phone.

We would hope so, but our medical system does not take good care of our old folks here in the US.

Oh no. That's too bad. I'm happy she's safe and all but that can't be fun. I wish they would allow her to have her computer in there. Does anyone have an address?

@FayeHazel I think there would be no way for her to keep it secure.

It is that there is not room. I guess as Robbie describes it, it is like a hospital room. Her address is on my profile page. A number of people have sent her cards and letters.

For cataracts, the way I am told, you have to wait until they are bad enough before you get surgery. Her address is on my profile page.

Thanks for the post. And let me say that it is a shame that in a rich country, a woman who has worked all her life and given so much to others cannot have help to get eye surgery and hearing aid. In my country that is a right.

Our health care does not care. I wish we could have better coverage for all.

You know, I think it is important that we reach out to him as well. He is not the bad guy. He has tried to do right by his mom. I notice on Facebook he has friended a number of people from myLot.

This is a situation where nothing much can be done even if we want to

i hope she will be able to regain her hearing abilities. i miss her discussions where we have to somehow ''decipher'' what she posts about.

If she were to get cataract surgery that would help with that problem.

Thanks for the update on Patsie. She'll feel better in her own clothes, but if she could get back to myLot she'd feel even better.
I visited my 96 year old Auntie on Friday and was shocked at the change in her since the last time I saw her (in the spring).

Poor Patsie. You get to a certain age and they won't do anything to help you because they don't see it as "feasible." Thanks for keeping us up to date on her.
