My other half (wife) has an implanted morphine pump that is failing. For the last year we have been telling the Doctors here there is a problem. We finally got someone to hear our concerns and they found that the pump dose have a problem. We have the medical cost covered with insurance. And a family member has given us the airfare for my wife. What we need is assistance with the motel and car rental. The pump replacement is a few days at Mercy Regional Medical Center Laredo, TX with a week or more of follow-up. There are two hotels within a few miles of the Hospital. If anyone knows of transportation assistance programs, grants, discounts, coupons that can help with our needs please email me at thomstx@msn.com
