Maybe Robert will find something, but I've spent the last couple days 
trying to find this very information and haven't come up with anything.  
Quite honestly, I've found more indication that there *wasn't* any 
rehabilitation after the malpractice award, although I don't know that 
it was a requirement.  But what I'm starting to wonder is whether 
Michael isn't also a victim in all this, not so much as a result of 
Terri's condition or the Schindlers, but possibly of his own advisors. 

With regard to Terri's medical fund, this article seems to indicate that 
precious little was spent on Terri from the time of the award up until 
1998 when Michael sought to have her feeding tube removed.  I'm curious 
about the attorneys' fees.  Were they really more than 50% or do I just 
need to dye my hair??

There's also an article claiming that Michael's attorney was chairman of 
the board of the hospice where Terri resides.  I can only assume Michael 
knew that George Felos was a right-to-die advocate when he hired him, 
but did he know of his connection to the hospice?

Quoting:
"How did this situation arise?  Hospice chairman of the board at the 
time, George Felos, is the attorney representing Michael Schiavo's 
efforts to kill Terri.  When Michael Schiavo contacted Felos, George had 
just the place to kill Terri:  his very own hospice!  So, he stepped 
down from the board, temporarily of course, until the legal battle to 
kill Terri is over.  After the legal battle, we're sure good old 
right-to-kill-patients-advocate George will be right back on the board.  
George is a student of Ira Byock, MD (a well known hospice physician) 
who advocates adding "aid in dying" (through terminal sedation ) to the 
mix of "services" provided by hospices."
