agreed....

I agreed, even though I got none, which was terriable, and with the help of God, family and my inner strength I overcome. Still I think of others.Hope Congress get it together.

We were so blessed to have been able to get very extensive insurance that allowed for a truckload of therarpy. I think that it not only was crucial, physically, for him, but also mentally. He was on the go so much to go to therapy and coming home tired, that he didn't have TIME to sit around and get depressed. Back in the beginning, when we were in a forced stop because insurance was changing, I could see he was settling into a 'ho hum, so this is my sad life' style. We are off for the winter right now, but he is so much better, he can THINK and do things, unlike just sitting there not being able to do anything or think and just feeling like there was nothing left of him. The therapy saved him mentally, as well as physically.

I hate to think of the outcome if we had had any other plan, including medicare, that would have restricted his therapies. I think it would have had a catatrosphic result in his recovery. I would definitely like to see people being able to get all the therapy they need to feel they can get somewhere.

Fred, I don't think the legislators have any idea of what is needed to get survivors back on their feet. It is not about the current situation of the economy or lack of resources, it is simply that they have no understanding of what survivors or caregivers go through. You all have to petition them to get the point across.

well Dr King where is the money going to come from/???

Sunfall,

Just my opinion but If Medicare really check the requests sent to them for payments of services and equipment from these fraudgelent operators in every state they could save millions of dollars every year to pay for legit claims from survivors referred to Therapy by their PCP!
