Default Postal home delivery

My mail box is down a Long hilly driver, my kids went to college and I'm in a wheelchair and DH is home late at night sometimes 2x a week. Using the computer, I accessed the Federal post office law stating and requiring home delivery of mail to Handicapped individuals. This info provided hard to find HHMMMM - done on purpose?). I made a print-out, it required a doctor's letter tio request to post-master. Being stubborn I had names and addresses in an hour doctor letter iniated, and letters written. Then I called my local post office, was passed around to three individuals seemingly very unfamiliar with law, last could hardly speak English, but within an hour my mail was hand delivered with a knock on my door. For awhile it was placed in cardboard box I placed on porch until I had required mailbox installed on door. I thanked mail carrier, left cookies for him another time and have never had a problem since. Within 2 hours I was set in this procedure.
My local Post-office was very cooperative (we're a little "Mayberry" here (shoot, I know several police officers by sight), I wrote a thank you to my local office l post-master. I am a face and name to my post-office. This can take persistence and while I was ready, turned out not to be required. But I was ready.
