Sorry to hear that, Lacuna. I hope you are eventually able to use your arm and leg. My aunt had a stroke and it was not an easy ride, but physical therapy helped after a while.

I hope you can fight your insurance over the heart surgery. It seems strange that they wouldn't approve a life saving surgery. I mean, without heart surgery, who knows what could've happened.

If they won't approve it after fighting it, what about getting financial aid from the hospital? When my grandma was in the psych ward, we applied for a charitable grant and got it. The grant covered 100% of the cost.
