That is wonderful they pulled together for you. This put me
about 30,000 in the hole. Medicaid didn't cover 100%. There was a
mess up then they decided to go by income instead of covering all of it, plus
the credit cards I have been unable to pay since I got sick. I'm just
trying to get enough together to claim bankruptsy (thinking about it) because I
can't afford to make small payments to everyone. I don't even have enough
for one small payment. I'll get through that like I do everything
else.

Subject: [QUAD-L] my fate?
In my situation I feel like what happened to me happened for a reason.
I'm definitely using my experience as a disabled person to guide me through
the rest of my life to help others. I wonder about why I was put in
the chair but it seems to come together when I think about my past patterns
in starting and education for a certain career and then quitting. I
originally was in school for elementary education special ed. I
also substituted school and did so in a school that was geared towards
special needs children (physical and cognitive disabled). I
felt bad for the children and took it home with me everyday. I had
those children on my mind all the time. Since I couldn't separate work from
my life, I decided to go another way still wanting to teach but not special
needs. I then decided that I did not want to teach at all and stopped
going to school so I did not waste my Dad's money. I instead
ended up waiting tables in Ocean City and taking off a couple of months in
the winter since it's a resort town where I live and where I worked
closed. Here I am 12 years later and in school again for a job to help
disabled. Kind of ironic that if I weren't in the chair I wouldn't be
in school now let alone for something that I pretty much started
doing.
