Life is hard.

You should know because you lost both legs, right?

[PeteB570]

To tell the truth I was only "a leg" for four months. For the next 20 years and 8 months I was not "a leg". "Legs" are worthless.

Still walking on both of my own legs.

Just a fun dig here at some of you guys, and you know who I'm talking about. Cut me some slack.

actually i lost some of vision in one eye while overseas and what i do have is doubled. i had to fight for every penny i got while at bethesda where i had my surgery. it is my opinion that this kid or his family is playing the system, there are always those types that at the first sign of abnormality (percieved) they run to the papers and or congressmen. i saw it all the time while in the military. we are only getting a very small part of this story from the inflamed party.

while on duty in sicily i received a call from a congressman from colorado demanding why we charged a sailor $1,400 for an emergency room visit. Turned out that it was from the Italian hospital, the sailor paid the bill and then called his congressman. Why didnt the sailor turn the bill over to us? he was involved in a auto accident while he was supposed to be at work. go figure.
