My mom will probably be leaving the rehab very soon. Not sure the exact time or day but we've decided to just bring her home and we're waiting for equipment for her so we can have an easier time taking care of her.

I did contact an attorney and he is going to take the case on but my mom is so worried about being treated really bad before she's able to get out of there if I pursue this right now.

The lawyer told me we have 3 years to actually get a suit filed and started before we can't file one. He wants to sue the other hospital in Utah that could have been part of the problem and not getting my mom diagnosed right in that time.

They decided she had conversion disorder and therefor could get the use of her legs back (this was before she was paralized) if she got counseling.

It was just ridiculous. So, he wants to do that too.

Part of my problem with this is the expenses part of the process. He's taking the case on a "If you don't get money we don't get money" type thing.

However, we have to pay all the expenses and he said it could be upwards of $100,000.00 SO, I'm not sure if we should proceed with this or not. I just feel very confused right now about how this is going to go.

He said if we lose the case then there will be no money that he'd be taking his expenses out of and we'd have to pay it. I could lose my home over this if we don't win the case. So, I don't know what to do.

I've just got to get prepared for my mom to come home and get the care she needs here. I just hope I can do it. I'm so scared I won't be able to handle it and she'll be having to be put in a home.

I know this sounds dumb or ridiculous but if I don't at least give it a shot at doing this and taking care of my mom as a paralized person, I won't ever know if I can handle it and will feel guilty putting her in a nursing home.

I need to see this through and if it turns out it's too much then we'll put her in a home and that will be that but I've got to find out first if I can do it. If I can't and send her away I won't have anything to feel guilty about. You know?

I just wanted to let you know what was going on now.

Thanks for the update Rylee!
I'm glad your mom is getting out of there soon.

I'm wondering if you should consult with another lawyer as well??
