Help me SAVE my husband of 43 years

Donation protected
Hi my name is Beverly Shaw. Me and my husband David Shaw have been married  44 years. 
My brloved David  had a stroke November 25 th last year.
After a long stay at,  first the hospital, then a good nursing home for rehab, Finally had him home in April
I have been taking excellent care of him , doing physical and ocupayional therapy with him on a daily baises, giving him daily baths, keeping good records of all his meds, making and
Taking him to regular doctor apointments, I took him to town every day, and then we would talk  about what we saw, who we talked to, and about what was said,  etc. As a means of mind and memory excersice. 
He had regained  good physical and mental health, and we were back to resuming a happy life.
 He wanted  to go on a vacation , after being cooped up for so long.
We went and visited his home town of Shelbyville indiana.
During our visit,  In the extreem August  summer heat he got dehydrated,  so i took him to the local hospitaI for  IV  fluids.
And that is where our nightmare statred.
 The hospital did not clean the area when giving the IV,  so  he got a severe infection, then they  gave him drugs, that i had told them he is allergic to.
They are the most irresponsible and negligent, incompeble  hospital i have ever seen.
I  threatened to sue them. They in turn called a judge they knew, and  lied  saying i was not taking good care of him, and with out my knowledge, or chance to defend myself , 
they went and placed a guardian, (really just a figure head for the hospital,)  over my husband, so that I can not sue. If i do not have gaurdinship on my husband, I can not sue on his behalf.
 That is in part , why they did this.
They also have a history of doing this to patients  65 and over, who are on medicare, and do not have the money for expensive lawyers, for long drawn out court cases, to fight this, and who  do not have a large number of family members left,  to help them.
They do this  for the medicare money, and to gain control over their estate.
They they put  him on the drugs, that cause hallucination, disorientation, and confusion, so he could not object, 
And  forced him into a horrible nursing home that the hospital ownes.
 The nursing home  is continuing to keep him on theese drugs, to kerp him sedated,  so he has no say so.
They took all my rights away. ( I have power of attorney, on my husband of 44 years of marriage , but they are ignoring it,) and i have no say so of any kind.
While they are taking over OUR bank acout and  estste.
He is so druged , he  doesn't even know me anymore, half the time.
I have to get a attorney and get my rights back,  and get him to his family doctor , and off of these drugs right away, before they leave permanant brain damage, or kill him.
One of theese drugs is haldal , a anti sicotic that is NOT to be used in elderly dementia or stroke victims, because it has a high risk of death and pemanent brain damage.
And they have him  on this , stricktly to sedate him, so he cant object.
Its considered a hospics drug.
Its tearing my heart out, and i cry in distress every day
They keep him in a wheelchair and wont let him go to the bathroom.
I saw his derier bleeding from diaper rash, and found him sitting at the breakfadt table soaked from his chest to his knees in urine , while his bed is also soaked in urine. He had to sleep in the filth and stink.
They are in a class action law suit, and just changed their company name, last month, 
and they get a clean slate by just changing their name.
We are the 3rd peope they have done this to, just this year, that i know of.
I have written refersnces fom people who have known my husband and me, 30 to 40 years, stating 
I was takíng  excelent care of him, and that we have a extreemly loving , and caring relationship.
I am mortified, and scared to death for him..
PLEASE HELP ME.
I NEED 5,000 Retainer Immediately..
If i owned a house id sell it, but i don't.
We make 1,400 ss retirement.
I feal  like i died and am in hell.
A nightmare i cant wake up from.
We live in missouri, were not even from indiana,  and can't go home to missouri without him, so i am sleeping in my car, and  Its getting cold now.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP...
we have such a beautifull marraige, we held each other every night as we slept , even after 44 years.
I miss him sooooo horribly.
Just want to get him back, and to go home .
We Want our life back, before they kill him or turn him into a mindless veggie.
He dosn't deserve to be locked away from me and living in horrible conditions.
Even prisoners, who commited a crime, have better conditions, and more rights.
PLEASE HELP...
I am all alone, i need your help desperatly..
