Larry....you should be able to do that...a quad is 100% disabled. I don't know
how long it takes to get the medicare going, I think each state is a bit
different...I would inquire thru medicade/social security or disability lawer
office...I'm not sure exactly who to call in KY> but try a computer search of
these govermment offices and i'm sure they will help you out, also A social
services helper in your area may be of help...Most hospitals have workers there
you can ask. Good Luck, Dan H*

I have insurance through the Ky teachers retirement system. It leaves much to
be desired. It converts to Medicare in two years when I turn 65. My question is
can I be declared disabled and get Medicare now? I inquired about home health
making a daily visit to dress my wounds. The cost was $750 up front and a 30%
co-pay. I can't do that....at all. What do youse guys think? Btw, wife Melissa
has heart cath in the morning and is scheduled for defibrillator on Monday if
cath goes well. Prayers. Thanks.
Larry WillisRetired and proud of it
