Saw my doc, she filled out her form, plus wrote a letter explaining my hands issue and tying, but said "Tying bags." The issue is tying string around bundles. The gal that took the paperwork said, "The supervisor has to come out and see you." I was thinking fine, bring him out. No not out to see me in the office, but to my home to see "What 'I' could do." Huh? What I can do I just did. I played the ADA card. My doctor filled out your form, I filled out your form, and there is a cover letter that spells out specifically what the problem is. Now the issue is those bundles. I go back to the VA tomorrow and she can write a new letter even more explicit. Do you need a more explicit letter? Now I've done what I can do to help. Get those garbage men to do their jobs.
I still had to give my email as a contact and I guess he still wants to come out. Fine, if the stuff is still there Thursday night, I'm going to the media I expect a visit from the Unit shortly. Then I am really going ballistic. I never pushed the lawsuit from last year, but everything is sitting ready to go.

I'm glad you're my friend because I'd hate to be your enemy.
You are doing great! I always said any cause worth doing/getting is worth the work. I've been in that position but I have the time and tenacity to see it through. Means lots of telephoning, coping, mailing and waiting but I usually get results. Hope it works for you!
This is local government at its finest. Go get 'em, Huck. Ridiculous, absolutely, ridiculous. This is how we treat disabled people in this country!
This has really gotten ridiculous. The fact that you are in a wheelchair, you submitted the required form, that should be the end of it.
This is not reasonable. Someone has an axe to grind, this has become personal. Like it or not, like you or not, they don't get to make that determination. Shame on them.
Take your story to the Journal Times, Huck. I bet they ignore you. You are not one of the downtown beautiful people, so too bad for you.
Party on the heads of disabled people, lying John!
