Here's the letter I sent to my federal legislators, CMS, The Sectretary of
Health Human Services, Bush, Cheney, Nancy Pelosi and many others in Nov,

which suit the person's needs

Hi Wheels,
Just take a look around at the scooters that have been sold in the last few
years. I just read about a lady on a Wal-Mart scooter shoplifting at their
store, and then using the store's scooter as her get-away-ride!

Hi Bill,
Very well said! As a single amputee I understand the need to have the right
chair under you both in the home and also outside. The Medicare language needs
to be made clear to everyone involved in power wheelchairs.

Great news, girl! A Gothic girl with purple hair, h? If I'm around

An excellent letter! You write exceptionally well Bill! Plus you've taken
action against an injustice instead of just taking it laying down and doing
nothing. I'm shaking your hand!

I inquired to Roho as to the cost of their mobile pressure mapping device

As you are used to using the chin control, you will probably never be satisfied
with the Peachtree. However, here is some information on it. I looked and
this is one of the conversations I had with an individual about Peachtree. It
may explain some things, however, it may be lacking.
Well-written Bill. The only thing I might suggest is you send it to your
Senators and your Representative.

Let me know when it makes it to BBC America. I try to keep up with all of the

Am I the only person who questions the actual effectiveness of pressure
mapping? It would seem to me that any results from pressure mapping assume
that you will always be placed in your seating position exactly the same way
every time, otherwise would not variations in positioning effect weight
You are right Steve, to a certain extent. Mapping senses both pressure and
heat and you may be tested over an hour or more to determine a base level,
with tolerances. The sensing pad is like a large checkerboard with a lot more
squares with sensors. Ask anyone who has been map'd if it

Hi...great letter...but...it all comes down to 'medically necessary'.
Medicare does not put into their equation quality of life, emotional well being
or risk outside of the home. Going outside may be a necessity but it is not,

Hi Lori,
It's is stupid without a doubt from our perspective. But theirs is quite
different. Preventative care and medically necessary are not synonymous.
Preventative care helps stave off a possible future problem where medically
necessary deals with an existing issue.

Has anyone had good/bad experiences with TracFone? The connectivity, range,

Hey Dan T,
my mom had a tracphone was pretty good. You buy a phone card with so many
minutes on it at a store, punch in a cetain code and use the minutes. The
drawback is the minutes expire within a certain time period. Also, its only
good for emergency use, would be to expensive to use for
