Years ago I contracted MRSA which can remain in your body for years. And for me it resurfaced in early February. Which unknown to me at the time would lead to a months long ordeal that I’m still going through. Days into the MRSA treatment I developed Thrush. A week after that I was hospitalized with Covid… Likely contracted when I went to the clinic for the Thrush. Five days into being in the hospital for covid my lungs nearly stopped working. At 15 units of oxygen I was unable to keep my O2 levels above 70. Wound up being there for 21 days total. Five days before my release from the hospital I started having pain in my butt and blood in my stool. I told the nurses and doctor about that and they did nothing.
A day and a half after being released from the hospital for covid I was back in the hospital. That pain and bloody stool they had refused to look at. Was an open wound in my butt that had turned necrotic and gangrenous. It took two surgeries, where they removed over a hockey puck sized amount of dead tissue from my bottom. That was March 5th. It is now April 14th and I am still in the hospital waiting for the wound to close as it is in an area I cannot take care of on my own.
This is where the issue comes in. My insurance is only willing to pay for the hospital until the 22nd and I need to be moved to a skilled nursing facility by that time. The issue is they keep turning down every nursing facility the case worker suggests. I am scared that they will force me out of the hospital with the open wound, I will get re-infected and have to deal with this all over again.
