Update: Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, BIG MISTAKE!

Happy New Year 2010

An update to my previous post about how I believed RIC (Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) would help me get my life back!
Well, the joke is on anybody that believes in marketing, fancy websites and celebrity spokesmen.

I suffer panic attacks when I even think about the horrible experience with the institution. They are pegged as the #1 rehabilitation facility in the U.S. Yes, on paper but in fact, the opposite is true. The whole experience reminded me of what horror stories the disabled encounter on hidden cameras, behind the door 20/20, Primetime and other watchdog groups.

Since this is New Years day, I don't wish to expound on the nightmarish experience because in so doing, I would have to take a Xanax.

I have an appointment at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona next week. They are organized and kind when consulting me over the phone. RIC's employees were very disorganized prior to my appointment in Chicago. Their phone skills were unprofessional and rude.

Remember, I recommended that anyone with a disability should consider RIC to get their life back together! NO! DON'T!

They don't even follow HIPPA guidelines!

Enough! I will keep you aprised of my experiences with Mayo's. They have a TRACK record! Be blessed with good health!

RIC- Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago

Hi Everyone!

I have been in Punta Mita, Mexico the last 2 weeks. My how time flies when you are with your family (especially the twin grandaughters).

I am looking forward to my appointment at the Rehabilitation Institue of Chicago. In addition to the brain surgeries, tethered cord surgery, chronic pain, I have been in debilitating pain for the last 3 weeks. So, I am happy that I am finally going to have rehabilitation and a complete and thorugh physical evaluation.

I am so blessed to live in the U.S.A. While visiting my daughter here in Mexico, I have not seen one disabled person. I believe that many people die here because of the lack of medical assistance and the mighty dollar.

Anyway, I will be headed for Chicago on Saturday, Oct 17th. I would suggest RIC to any chronic pain sufferer's and my Chiari friends.

I feel as though I have another chance at life. I have also become a Yoli distributor. A new innovation, this product, is bound to make a huge BLAST into the networking industry! Gotta run, Linda
