A lot of things are wrong with the stories now out. One group claims Terri never got therapy, yet this story claims she was getting it 6 years after her brain injury. Does that mean she'd been receiving it for 6 years? If so, someone was paying for it, as Medicare/Medicaid will only pay for such services for so long... the individual has to be shown to be making progress. While most therapists can document progress made with just about anything, to keep it up for 6 years with no more achievements than being able to swallow boggles the mind.

What? So she was in rehab? As you say, the stories keep changing.

Now that you're back, how about telling us where you found the documents you claim state Terri has no cortex any longer. I've sifficeient medical background to read and comprehend them. Care to fills us now? [Incidentally, Terri had a DNR placed upon her charts as soon as Michael received the insurance settlement monies. He would not even allow a nurse at the nursing home to roll up a cloth and place it in her constricting hand. He placed an order upon her chart that she was to receive NO THERAPY way back when a state appointed guardian was in charge of her care, a guardian whom Michael had fudge Greer fire and then appoint Michael. The therapy Terri needed/needs was requested to be paid for by the state's guardian, but Michael wouldn't pay it so the $750,000 remained in her trust fund until fudge Greer secretly authorized Michael to raid it in order to pay George Felos, euthanasia atty. Now most of the $750,000 is gone down the Felos rathole.]

She was in rehab until early 1993. Her therapy ended within weeks of Michael Schiavo receiving the $1.2 million awarded in the malpractice lawsuit. $750,000 of this award was to be used for Terri's care and rehabilitation; the jury specifically awarded it for that purpose. NONE of that money went to her care and rehabilitation. A large amount of it WAS used to pay MS's lawyers.

Well, from the paragraph below, directly from the article... and if it was 7 years ago, she had been brain damaged for 6 already. That's a long, long time to "give therapy a chance."

That was seven years ago, when Ms. Sauer was a nurse at a rehab facility in Largo, Fla. At that time, Ms. Schiavo was getting physical therapy and full-time attention from skilled nurses. But the facility charged $4,000 a month, as Ms. Sauer recalls, and Mr. Schiavo soon chose to discontinue his wife's therapy and move her into the much cheaper hospice system. She's languished there for six years, tethered to a feeding tube while a fierce legal battle swirled around her.
