Slowly but I’m also hoping to hit my 100 in the next year or two. I’m at 93 and 70 of those were after becoming a quadriplegic, and I live in Iowa πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ πŸ˜Šβ™ΏοΈπŸŽΆβ­•οΈ

When you become disabled, the equipment and resources you now need are not simply handed to you, as many currently-abled folks believe.

Disabled people, who usually have less usable hours in their day, are often required to jump through significantly more hoops to have their basic needs met.

I rely on Medicare and Medicaid to be able to live life and go to work to pay for my home and bills. I take calls from this guys suggestions at work and mostly for fad diets. Oh boy, this should be interesting 🀨
