That's what I do with my Mom - although between Medicare and her MHBP from my stepfather, lots of times she ends up having a zero balance. She has the AARP prescription plan for drugs and since she had to go into rehab with her hip replacement and her aneurysm, she has qualified for Extra Help from SS for her drug co-pays. Medicare covered 100% for the first 21 days o each of her rehab stays, but I had to apply for Medicaid for her to pay for the rest of her rehab costs.
How cool is this!!!??? Below, photos of my 1st place design featuring the lily"Anastasia" at the North American Lily Soceity show.
Guess who is standing by it? Judith Freeman, world class lily hybridizer who created "Anastasia." This makes me verklept, it is so special.

Your second award in a week? Beyond impressive.
that is truly gorgeous
WOW!!
Nice! Meeting Ms. Freeman must be like me meeting Steve Wozniak (one of the founders of Apple; can't meet Steve Jobs anymore). A memorable day...
(ETA upon rereading I've never met Woz. But I imagine the feeling would be the same and it would be a memorable day.)

Well, this is prime flower show season. This recent win was just a class win, it was not the best in show. I did get a special award for a species lily I grew and I will post a photo of it tomorrow.
Yesterday I drove home to cut lilies for the horticulture show and I found that someone had reached through our fence and snapped off a lily which I had planned to take to the show. I didnt have another stem of that cultivar. That was a bummer! I do have a plant theft each hear but it has never been a blue ribbon show entry, usually they take items I dont care about.
