I sure would love to know how this came out and Gil asked a great question. I know for me the polio affected both legs and I have to wear full length metal braces. The cost......over $3000.00 for new braces every 6 years or so and over $1500 about every two years for releathering, cleaning and other repairs along with new leather shoes attached. I've been fortunate and have great benifits where I work. My Blue Cross Blue Shield pays for about 70% of the cost.

But now I'm worried, how can Gil and others get help on paying for braces, crutches, etc if they do not have medical insurance that will cover it all? If anyone has the answer I hope you will drop us a post.

Thanks!
