I've been fighting this fight for 26 years - maybe more And i'm still walking on my own two feet. I dont use a cane or walker - except when i have to negotiate an airport - then a wheelchair is very useful to get from point to point efficiently. Sure there are times that i'm down - like when i fell flat on my face at the senate hearing but that was spectacular, and i couldnt have timed it better. Several list members and a senator were there to pick me up. And sure , i complain a lot about my problems - but that is because it is the most realistic way i knnow of bringing them to public attentiion And there are the minor victories like today i found out that i have been granted Medicaid! Retroactive to April - so it will pay for my son's hospital expenses - nearly $8000 i had no way of raising So please, I love you all for caring about me, but help me concentrate on the good thngs that are happeinig !
