Thumbs Up It's happened, bionic legs have 'trickled down' enough I MIGHT be able to get one!

You gotta see this guy running! Now I doubt I can or will be able to run, but I would definitely be able to walk so much better with this leg component. I will know Friday what my chances are of getting it covered. So wish me luck!

Pam

If insurance tries to deny you then we will have to raise the money.
Or something else. Just keep on thinking its going to happen.

Thanks Donna! I really have a hope to get OUT of this chair, I hope I can make it happen NOW before I am 45 or 50. So I can get in better shape physically NOW rather then just slowly over time, to speed it up a little by walking.

Dear Pam,
I looked at your links but I still don't understand much.
What are the new legs like?
I mean -- they seem to have computer technology.
