I agree with Linda on this one. Sometimes you have to consider he source. I
recently had an incident happen to me at the RA doctor’s office. The office
manager talked to me and hope we have it all straightened out. I did not get
mad but I did let them know it was not appreciated.
Take care.

Poor Kathleen, you’ve sure been through the mill with professionals who assume
that blind people need to be taken care of. Unfortunately, a lot of medical
people have that attitude because although we’re a pretty independent
population now, the old standards related to blindness, whether someone’s blind
from birth or advantitiously blinded, doubt that we can be independent.
Also, nowadays, you have a lot of medical professionals who come from places
and cultureswhich aren’t American and White. Please cut them some slack. I
know it’s a troublesome thing to have to be the guinea pig and educate these
folks, but as people with a disability, that’s the cross we bear.

I hope I don't get somebody to says why don't you have a sighted person with
you. That really drives me totally up the wall. But I hope I don't get a
physical therapist that doesn't want to work with a blind person. I had that
experience once and I really don't want that to happen again

Hi, Kathleen,
I'm so sorry you have to go to a hospital for further rehab. That would
frustrate me too.

Hi Kathleen, I'm glad you and meghan have bonded so well together, but I
agree with you, this whole obama care thing is nuts, and I think the elites

america like the rest of the third world, but I am glad that you and meghan
are so close, and I hope that somehow, through all that is happening, that
you may be able to see her, even if she won't be in the roll as a

Well Linda I hope your health situation improves. Honestly it seems like
you've been through the ringer lately. Well I got some news today that I
was not ready for. And neither was my physical therapist I don't think.
Well here's what I just got told today. Next Friday will be my last day of
therapy at Metro sports physical therapy the clinic that I've been the
happiest that. Medicare is not going to pay for any more therapy there.
She told me my only other option is to go to a hospital as an outpatient
and go to therapy there. She said that Medicare will pay if I go to a
hospital forever and ever and that's it. The only other option I have
which I refuse to do is to go into a nursing home which Medicare told me
to do the last time I got dropped out of another clinic. Over the same
issue. The Medicare. The guy told me if I want to physical therapy I
should go to one nursing home and I said why should I do that and he said
well you're blind you should go to one. And I got
ate guy at
M
edicare in trouble for saying that too. Anyway that was just really crazy.
So Megan and I were just about ready to cry. And I also don't have my
unlimited long distance back from Time Warner either. So I don't know
where that's going to stand. Because I was happy I was doing chat lines
and getting paid for it. And Time Warner got upset about that. But the
other thing they did was they drop my access to information. Or directory
assistance whatever you want to call it. So I can't look up phone numbers
on my own or anything. So I'm thinking about taking them to court over
that issue. So that's the way that goes. So it's really going to be sad
when I leave the clinic next Friday. I already told one of the other
therapist goodbye. I told Lisa goodbye and I told Joe goodbye to. And I
have a feeling like Megan's not going to hold up very well either. I know
she was really upset and angry and so was I. This whole thing with
healthcare is totally fucked up and I'm sorry to use th
vlanguag
e
with Nana my test. I mean really I'm not even fully functional yet and
they're going to dump me out. That's just doesn't make sense. I mean I
still have pain in my shoulder and my forearm and she just said to some of
the exercises at home or start with another clinic. If I do that I'll have
to get used to another therapist at the clinic at the hospital. Which I
can do but I don't even know where to go. So I'm kind of upset about this
whole thing. But as far as window so I don't have to worry about that. At
some point I'm going to have to go to the Apple Store and get my phone
updated. And I will do that soon I think. Maybe since I'm going to have a
couple more free days I can go to the senior center that's neck next to me
and socialize. I have no idea what I'm going to go home yet. Now let's see
what happens with all my stuff comes back that I put in storage. Hopefully
the welcome back. Anyway I called the library and ask him to replace a

said I might get a defective cassette if they replaced it. So let's see
what happens. The library is telling me they're phasing out the set books
but they're still sending them to me. Plus the digitals. And I really
think I have a haunted digital player. Every once in a while when I'm in
the bedroom and I'm not even touching my digital player it'll start
playing my book all by itself. It takes the book back to the beginning and
starts playing it. I wonder if it's because I'm close to the radiology
department at the hospital or something. This is really strange and I told
the person at the library and he said it was really weird. It doesn't do
it all the time but it does it every once in a while. And I woke up a
couple days ago and my digital player was playing. It was really kind of
odd

Hi, I just got the new update for windows 10. It is like vista or
windows 7 but it responds better. All I do is read and listen to
music, so I don't know much about the learning curb.
