Cleveland, a place to live or a place to retire... - 4/25/2010
We've had the opportunity to see this community grow over the last 22 years. We moved here as a result of our 2nd transfer. Retirement was just a very distant thought. Now two years away from retirement would we consider retiring here? Well that is a difficult question. On one hand my beloved daughter and beloved son-in-law live here as well as my son. I love them all & would not enjoy being away from them. But on the other hand most of my relatives live in Oregon and Washington. Hmmmm.
Cleveland is in the deep south and is in the Bible belt. We are Christians and enjoy our church and church family. We are not far from great fishing, rafting, camping, boating, and the outdoor list goes on. We have a volunteer symphony, a volunteer acting group in their infancy, car shows minimum of once a month in town as well as several in the surrounding 100 miles, Not far away is an award winning aquarium and in the same city is a 1 week long music festival every year that brings in the big

Totally Poor Health Care - 2/12/2010
I am Disabled and I wear an; A.F.O. ( ankle foot orthotic )Brace.
Hanger Prosthesis & Orthotics, in my opinion, is the worst Company I have ever encountered to fit me with an A.F.O.. I have been waiting 8 months to receive a fitted A.F.O. from HANGER PROSTHESIS & ORTHOTICS and it should have taken NO more than 2 months MAX!!! I have used 2 other Companies for previous A.F.O.s; Restorative Health Services and Superior Health Services, and neither of them took over 2 months to make any of my Braces; I do have documents to support my allegation's.
BJ Stagner, Fitter & Field Manager for Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics; in my opinion, does not know how to conduct business as a Professional nor does he know how to Fit me with an A.F.O.. I believe I "hurt his feelings" back in July/August 2009 and since then he has Slow Walked me on my Brace.
Mr. Stagner who I feel is responsible for me not receiving a Brace, has caused me Pain, Suffering, Depression, Anxiety, and further
