Hey Mark

Big hug - gets!!!! Sounds like life is really kicking you in the teeth right now. I totally agree - in some ways the being taken advantage of and being treated like you are STUPID for being disabled does not change culture wide. Good old UK is full of the impression - cripple = stupid instead of modern society = stupid.

Really hope things get sorted for you!!! Sounds like taking the attorney with you would be great - they might listen then. Are you living with your family now? I remeber you saying something about it. If not then are there are community programs that could help you with day to day stuff (if you are living alone - it just sounds like you are struggling to manage stuff at the moment). In the UK it is possible for some people in some areas to have community volunteers help with simple stuff like basic meals, shopping, tidying etc. just a thought. Are you not eligible for welfare?

is it me or is this US system a TOTAL farce??? When I lived in CA our neighbour had quadraplegia - and we worked out I recieved a higher amount of benefit from the UK system than he did! and that was with me using a wheelchair but not needing 24 hour care. TOTALLY bizzare!

Anyway - sorry to digress

Just wanted to say that I hope things improve soon and sending you tons of love
