Spent a month in lester e cox hospital (south), 4 months in the university or missouri brain injury unit was awarded a state guardian, david yancy, and spent 3 months in maries manor located in vienna missouri. The state guardian cleaned me out of all assets even though I had two insurances. One cigna and one medicaid. So none of my money went to medical care but to pay his 3 attorney fees.
