Medicare will not currently pay for his broken femur from November. It’s almost too ridiculous to believe. I will have to go to some difficulty to get it fixed. I’ll work on that today. It’s really good I’m here as mom and brother were confused on the whole thing and would not be able to talk to Medicare or resolve the problem.

I have been through the same thing! I had a worker's comp claim for as minor as can be dog bite on my right foot in 2010. I had surgery on my left ankle in 2014 related to an injury in high school cross country topped by a fall at my therapist's office. Medicare didn't want to pay for my surgery because of the right foot thing. I battled for months. My hospital eventually gave up trying on their part and wrote off a big amount. It was horrible.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this. You'd think they would have learned left and right in kindergarten!
