Amen, Bernie!

I've been trying to get a hospital bed with a trapeze for transferring, as my shoulders that have been my legs for moving for the last 20 years are worn out. It would be so much easier to grab the bar and swing into bed than to have to hooch and schooch my body until I get into position for the night. But since I can use my ARMS, I do not qualify from what I've been told! If I couldn't use my arms, why would I need a trapeze? It just gets crazier and crazier to try and get anything medically necessary these days with politics and the economy as it is, (unless you have private insurance, not Medicare) they keep taking more and more money from the programs we need to live to pay for the "war in Iraq", the "war on drugs", war on this and that, and to make sure THE GOVERNMENT gets their yearly cost of living increases. I get one each year, but they take it right back as my Medicare deductible goes up equal to or greater than the increase! But I try to look on the good side that I even have a bed, a roof over my head, food in the cupboards, a loving family, and a few good friends.... Peace, Bernie
