So long story short, I really need some help.
A little over a week ago, we were on our way to two appointments (my mom's physical therapy and my daughter's HRT check-uo) and after my daughter's appointment my mom started driving kind of erratically. Mind you, we were about 20ish miles away at that point, so we took the back way to avoid crashing on the freeway. My mom still ended up damaging our car, though, so that's one of the problems I have to deal with now.
Anyway, we got home and I got her to the hospital, thinking she might be having a stroke (thankfully, that was not the case). We did find out she has a small aneurysm in her brain that they're going to monitor and she's probably been giving herself too much insulin since December because she can't monitor. They also decided it would be best if she went to a skilled care facility for a few weeks because she didn't have the strength to get up and down our stairs (she's been there sine last Sunday).
While she was there, she got news from her older brother that apparently their younger brother was found dead a week prior. We have no other information at the moment, but my mom is not dealing with it well. But I don't think there's going to be a funeral she needs to go to, so that's something I don't need to worry about arranging.
But here's what I need help with:
I don't drive so my daughter and I are back to relying on Ubers. My mom's facility is actually less than two miles away, but that' still about $30 round trip. Any help getting to go see her would be amazing, plus my daughter has an appointment in Chula Vista to get her tooth looked at (finally) on the 25th and I don't want to reschedule that.
I need a little bit of help for food before the 1st. Not much there, maybe $40. My GERD is acting up and I'm having trouble eating some of the stuff in the apartment.
I need a new fan for the living room, where I use my laptop without hurting myself the way I did using it on my bed. We don't have heating or air conditioning in our apartment and the heat is even starting to come to California.
I may need to cover both of the glucose monitors that were ordered for her as her pharmacy says they can't bill Medicare Part B for them. We would really like to get her a Freestlye Libre, because part of the reason she's basically been overdosing on her insulin is most of the time she can't find her smaller monitor, and pricking her fingers is starting to hurt her.
Any help at all would be very much appreciated!
