Yeah I know. What are these medical people are foreigners. But my new primary
care doctor is a neat lady. She doesn't have those attitudes either. But my
orthopedist I'm not really sure what to think about him. I don't think he's
going to authorize any more therapy for me under Medicare. I may discuss it
with him but will probably argue about it like we did the last time. But anyway
my friend in Vermont thinks I should talk to my Congress person about this
whole Medicare stuff. I don't know what my Congress person can do but we'll
just have to see. Anyway I'll probably call them on Monday. I'll talk to my
mother on Sunday and told him about the news. But anyway I still don't
understand being so close to a hospital why my ham radio won't work and
sometimes my digital player a start playing all by itself. I kind of wonder if
the thing is haunted it doesn't do it all the time but sometimes it doesn't
it's really weird.

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

I’m sure once you get to the hospital someone will guide you where you want

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

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 in charge, that are controling the president and congress want to
make 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

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 book on cassette that was defecti

asked him about another book and they said it was an old book and theyYou are subscribed to Ourplace (
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

Hey Rayford, I'm at about the same place as you are, so if it's similar

Windows 7 or Vista, I've got it made. Not gonna update yet till I have

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.
