Denied home care, P.A. woman at a loss for what comes next
Lacy Fidler is at a loss as to what comes next after being told the home care she has been receiving for 2.5 years would end.
The day after telling paNOW that she needed the care to prevent infections and stay out of the hospital, Fidler was admitted to hospital with an infection.
“This is my life. Cellulitis is a very deadly infection. I could be dead next week,” she said. “I don’t know, I’m so confused, I’m overwhelmed, I’m stressed. I’m just defeated.”
Fidler has been getting care at home for a condition called lymphedema. Coban wraps, provided by home care, were being used for compression to control the condition in order to prepare her for surgery.
