Thank you River, I really appreciate the information. I talked to my

insurance company and I am having a mobility evaluation next week.

They said that I have to show need inside my house. Work and outside

activities don't matter. So, in essence .... keeping the job that

allows me to have the insurance isn't a criteria in deciding if I

need help. It is so frustrating.

Part of the issue for me is that I really don't want to do this

anyway. I have been really stubborn about believing I might even

need one in the future, so it is hard to fight for something I

resent and dread. My problem is my pride and stubborness isn't

stopping the progression of my symptoms.:-)

We are looking for options as far as transporting the chair to the

schools I visit. The insurance rep was positive they don't even

consider ramps or lifts and, of course, we don't have a van or SUV.

Well, more decisions I don't want to make.

Thank you again for the information.
