I'm 63, ride a scooter or use a mobility cart at the store. I have COPD, am
on oxygen 24/7 and have Leukemia. I'm now getting overweight. Steroids to
combat my illness, donchaknow? You wouldn't be able to tell just by looking
at me that I have med. problems. I cruise and travel as much as possible.
So do you suggest I be put down because of it?

PS..like the retort....
