Salsman is distressed while sorting through multiple days worth of mail in her bed at Baptist Hardin Health Hospital in Elizabethtown, Kentucky two weeks before Christmas. Salsman was hospitalized after a fall in her home that resulted in a concussion and a fracture in her left hip. This was Salman’s second recent hospitalization, as her right hip was fractured after falling at her home earlier in October 2023. “The pain in my head and my hips is unbearable, and I’m worried about trying to keep my bills paid and making sure that someone feeds my cats while I am in the hospital. My health insurance company doesn’t want to pay for me to attend a rehab facility after I am released from the hospital to help me walk again. How can I go home in a wheelchair and take care of myself in this condition?”
