My philosophy is, "It's not the quantity of life that is important, it's the quality." Last year I was on hospitalized bed rest for six months. You might assume the much needed rest would have been good for me. The fact of the matter is that I almost died from an undetected stress ulscer! I too am an active preson, the confinement in bed cause an ulser due to inactivity. Sometimes I guess you can win for losing! Anyhow the PVA Paralyzed Veterans Association may be able to help with tactfull advocacy. I suggest you give the PVA a call. They have a toll free 800 number, just call 800 information for the number. If you want mail a letter to me and I'll forward it to the New York City office to get you informasion as to his REAL RIGHTS under the VA regulations. Anyway good luck! \/ Squire \/ /\ Jim /\ -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!272!21!Jim.Sherwin Internet: Jim.Sherwin@f21.n272.z1.fidonet.org
