I remember back when a few of us came to Silverlady's rescue when she was faced with a tough situation. I for one would be willing to pitch in and help, I can't set it up though b/c my computer skills aren't that great...... I don't have loads of money but I can help if it makes life easier for you and Alan. This is all such a load of hooey, all for a pair of shoes!

Anything along these lines of financial support, would have to go thru the administration team here for permission.

Silverlady's special case was approved.

If this develops further please contact Chemar.

How kind of you, but don't worry. Alan already has the two pairs of shoes and these will see him through whatever he needs to be seen through.

But aren't you a sweet person for even thinking of that. Very nice of you.

We are going to appeal and we'll see what happens.

What I want to know is why on earth we had to have a telephone hearing, be sworn in, give testimony IF THE ALJ was going to go by medicare guidelines. Didn't he know BEFORE HAND that he would have to go by medicare guidelines?

This can't be the first time he had something like this before him.

I do NOT understand this whole concept. I mean, if the judge was able to find in Alan's favor, then I could understand the hearing.

But if you read the decision, well, it seems to have already been decided.

See what I mean?

What the heck is the Judge good for?
