anyone here have hyper mobility or ehlers danlos syndrome?

my girl friend was diagnosed with h.m. e.d. she has had 12 knee surgerys, 2 shoulder surgerys, she is hyper mobile in almost every joint. she has applied for disability 3 times only to be denied. she has enlisted legal help but it is moving very slowly. i just wonder if anyone out there has had problems getting disability and what other problems you may have encountered. she has been fighting this for about 9 years and is 41 now. each passing year is more difficult for her. i have done research on the web, but have not talked to anyone who has personally had this.
every dr. she has ever seen has provided a mountain of documentation to support her claim. every dr has said it is the worst case they have ever seen. her last visit to a podiatrist (2 days ago) revealed that her feet are now affected. once again the dr was amazed at the progression and her relative young age to be at this level. the main reason for the denials has been because of her age. it just slays me when i see people who are obese or alcholics/ druggies who have chosen the lifestyle they have, and they had no problem getting disability. for the record she is in colorado

Can anyone help me with Donating Wheelchairs for a good cause?

Hi and Merry Christmas Everyone,

have no insurance, I have never charged anyone a dime for the wheelchair I give them and I never will, I know what it is like to lose mobility as I use a wheelchair myself, as I said there are quite a few people who need either a wheelchair or walker or just a cane, and I want to do my part to help them out, can you Help me to help others in need? Thanks for listening and helping if you can, please visit the Yahoo group Ask Mobility if you can, or just a note to say hello.

Anyone know a specific brand of a cat cage for air travel that has feeding trays accessible from outside cage?

My cat needs to go to England to be quarantined, they have specified that she needs a cage that they can access the feeding container from the outside so they can refill water and food without opening the doors. Can you provide the name of a good brand and where to purchase. It has to be for a cat and the only ones I have seen like that are for birds.
