There was no way I was going, I was nauseous and felt like I was going to pass out. Where I live they have an MRI lab on every other street corner. Why not when they charge thousands of dollars for one test, and they love me because I have insurance that covers it. I still don't feel lucky

Hi Natalie, My friend has a key, and also the building has master keys. That's why for the most part, I don't lock my door unless I am going out. We all know each other in this hall and up on my end are fairly close, so there's always someone ot keep an eye out. Plus, it's really safe here. Gr

Wow Kevin. You are lucky to be able to have MRI's in the USA. Here we would never cancel and MRI unless really really sick as we would have to wait for another 6 months or more for one. Unless of course it was a life threatening situation and you were in danger of dying. Hope they find out

Grace, This might sound dumb, but when you happen to take a spill, how would Life-Alert get in your door? I've wondered, because of I were to happen to ever need it, I wouldn't know how they would get in you know. Thanks, Natalie M. "Grace M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Kevin, Can I ask why your hands are going numb? I just got my first manual w/c. I've been user the store's loaner - it was shipped new to be at Baylor in Feb. or March. I have not had anymore places on me going numb yet. I hope my hands don't give way, as I only have this manual.
