Trisha,
Check into VR anyway. I graduated from high school with a 3.5, was
student body president, and my dad was a surgeon, so money wasn't a huge
issue when I went to college. As far as rehab needs through VR, I got
help with AT that wasn't covered by insurance, and some help with
tuition and books.
As a matter of fact, when I started at UW in the fall of '79, the first
disability services coordinator had started a week before I went down
for registration. He saw me waiting to register and said "Who are you?!
I need to know about you!" He introduced me to the VR counselor,
because we thought that our family income was too high, so hadn't
checked into it.=20

persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Hi
Wow, I am sorry. Regretably, I can't walk - I work 4 jobs, so the
timimg is critical. I'm sure in a few days I will feel more the thing.
And I saw car for sale for $2000, so I may get that one and put the
reast of the insurnce money in the bank as a buffer.
Amber rides the bus and subway. We have never looked into VR - not
sure Amber would qualify - She is very able and I make too much money.=20

Trisha,
=20
I totalled my car in April and even though no one was hurt, it was =20
traumatic. I'm sure it was even more traumatic since you ended up in
the ER. =20
=20
If it helps at all, I felt like it was the end of the world, but
actually, =20
new doors opened. I'm now relying on public transportation, saving lots
of =20
money on gas and meeting my neighbors.
So, you never know what and how things can work out even when they look
terrible. I know you know that, but reminders help sometimes.
=20
Sorry if I missed this before, but will VR help with tuition?
=20
And when you feel terrible, just remember how lucky you are to still be
here=20
after the accident!
=20
Take care.
