The hospital I use told me they MUST treat you in the ER even though you have no insurance. I just called them to ask, out of curiosity. They told me it's the law.

You can download the forms for Social Security Disabilty and do the paperwork yourself. I didn't need a lawyer. Your mom is in worse shape than me and it only took a few months. Praying she feels better..bad backs are awful. Hopefully things will work out for you guys soon.

Make sure Reggie gives her tons of kisses to cheer her up!
