DeanCarl Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Just got a call from my prymary VA doc. He was able to get the VA to reverse it's decision and I'm gonna be able to get a scooter after all!!!!!! Whoooppeee!!! Gonna be mobile again!!!! I see the doc on the 29th and I might be able to get it then. We'll see how that works out (delivery, pick up, whatever) but that's all logistics and any problems there can be solved as they arise. It's going to be nice to go for a "walk" with my wife again. It's going to be nice to not have to pay the price in pain when I have to take care of business. It's just going to be nice!

kimblanchard Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Dean That is fantastic news, sooooooo Happy for you! You certainly deserve it, glad they reversed their decision. Sometimes things do work out, God is good and sometimes the VA? Bess B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilyjohn Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Congruadulations Dean; I guess now you don't need me to bombard them with words until they either lose thier minds or change their minds. Just remember when you are on that scooter that the people in front of you are not on one and can't move as fast. I remember when we would go to WalMart Johnny would ride the scooters there. Boy did he have fun. He liked to threaten to run over me but enjoyed being able to be with me and help me shop. Of coarse his favorite thing was to go to the McDonald's there to wait for me and have coffee. I don't think he ever realized that I knew about the hamburgers he gobbled up while there!! Still the scooter gave him a lot of enjoyment and us a chance to make some memories for me to hold on to. Have a great time Dean and if you need anything else and they deny you just keep giving them hell until the see they error of their ways.

SandyS Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Dean - Well, good thing you live in California - it's been in the single digits here in Chicago, and the idea of a "walk" doesn't sound appealing! But really, that's GREAT news! Make sure you "stop and smell them roses" on the walk! Hugs and prayers, SandyS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
