Welcome to our family and congrats on the 4 years!!
Now I don't think that Medicare and Diability it any different than Ohio's, but Ron has his medical bills all paid for if he meets a certain amount called "stepdown" believe it or not they think that his disability check which is under 1000 is enough money to pay that amount if he don't meet it. It's hard to explain. But either fortunately or unfortunately his doc's office visits and all exceed that amount. So all his medical is taken care of 98% of the time thru medicare/medicaid. As is prescriptions depending on the tier or whatever it's called. Oh and he gets a whole $16 on his food card, it went up since 2007 from $12! Wow huh?
And Ron also lost all his teeth he had left, but being a man, it don't bother him any not to have them. I myself have uppers since I was 24 and I am like you, if I didn't have them I wouldn't be able to go out in public, BUT I also did not go thru what you have and like Christine says, you could be worse so go out and breath that fresh WV air and get out of the house and do something like she suggested with the animals they love unconditionally and screw them folks that judge, they don't know how you have fought to live!
Good Luck and keep in touch
