kim...really...what else can i say about this??...so much of it stems from the design of our health care system... instead of having the government providing health care, we have profit driven corporations doing it...so people like ruth lycke and steve sidorenko are following this pattern...their motive is profit first and foremost...so what if people spend the last of their savings and are incapable of generating more because they are disabled...these creeps smell money and they'll continue following this scent unless and until they are regulated by law to follow some kind of ethical/disclosure procedures...i feel like i need another shower just talking about this again...

moving on...i received my ness h200 which extends my wrist and opens my affected hand using a stim charge on my forearm and base of my thumb...so far it feels amazing as my brain has long forgotten what this experience was like...i'll blog more as i get more therapy time with it...i'm still learning how to use it...on april 1 i leave for piyavate hospital in bangkok...they have an east/west combo stroke rehab program we're going to check out for a week...if it rocks, we'll consider going back later in the year for a much longer stay...on april 11 we fly to huaihua in china to stay at another tcm hospital for a month...i'll try to blog from over there if i can...it always feels good staying connected to strokenetwork...best to all, rich
