As you know health care costs continue to rise and, unfortunately, so have my health care needs. Although I continue to work quite actively as a coach and therapist, the reality is my health care costs far outpace my ability to meet these demands and that places me in a precarious situation. I have to be ever vigilant in guarding against infection, and monitoring all the bodily functions so many are able to take for granted. With the effects of aging (which quadriplegics do at double speed) the situation has become even more precarious for me. I have a staff of seven people, each of whom plays a critical role in helping me maintain the functional abilities I still have and I support them without any government funding.
