been cancer free for 44 years. Nobody chats about how to live life. I’m in extreme pain, from walking on crutches for 44 years. Now in elec wheelchair that isn’t worth poop, that medicare bought for me. How do I get justic? I’m in a heck of a mess, because I went with a company that told me they would take care of me and they aren’t. Some one tell me how to deal with this horrible problem. They are screwing Medicare for these electric wheel chairs, and the chairs aren’t worth poop. Someone tell me what to do, because I NEED MY CHAIR.
