My medical group could not safely get me and other patients onto the DEXA bone scan machine, so last year I got no test. This year they wanted to send me on a 70-mile trip to the closest accessible machine. I spoke up for two years, and this year doctor backed me up, and since then I've followed up with phone calls and emails to a few administrators.

Today I received an email: They're funding an accessible bone scan machine for next year.

Groovy! I'm celebrating with a box of Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch.
