average 'education' in patients with chronic pain:  1 1/2 hrs - 4 hrs 
[max.]; at some schools zero).  We are forced to 'exist' on the most 
basic (almost half the national "Poverty Level" figures).

> **********************************************The problem is that my 'wife' 'married' me _only_ to get out of Israel, 
where I was stuck at the time, and left me almost immediately after our 
arrival in Canada (I will explain the reasons - she _used_ me only to get 
here to see her _illegal_ 'resident' son).  Since I am 'existing' on 
$747.00 per month, there is NO help for me whatever from any legal 
sources, and since I am now bedridden, any court appearances are a 
physicial impossibility.  There is _absolutely_ no way I will ever be 
able to get support from her, unless you happen to be familiar with 
lawyers who will assist me.  Any suggestions?  Eliezer
