Hey Mal, pre-existing conditions were diabetes,hypothyroidism,degenerative disc in her back. She was already out on disability. It's really such an unbelievable story. My self and my other sister had moved to NC. This sister and her husband were also moving here. After closing on their house in NY they were on their way down to NC. The halfway point,Maryland,they stopped for the night. In the middle of the night my brother in law had to take her to the emergency room because she had severe pain in her legs. The last time she walked was into that hospital(barely could walk by then). What happened is when she got the flu shot,her body reacted by attacking her spine. The swelling moved up her spine and had it not stopped where it did,she would be on a respirator. Anyway, dr's have already told her the prognosis is for her not to walk again. It's been very hard on the family, and especially her husband because he works his regular full time job, then takes care of her which is a full time job. I could go on about how Medicare won't pay for an aide,etc.,but I've gone on long enough. And this compensation could take up to 2 yrs!
