1999 that she needed surgery. (See PL’s Am. Compl. ¶ 15; PL’s Opp’n at 42, 43.) It is undisputed that, “at various times, [Porter and plaintiff] talked about [their] back problems.” (Walfoort Deck, Ex. 6 at 233). It is also undisputed that Porter “was aware that [plaintiff] periodically had pains” and knew that Amtrak provided her with an oversized chair. (Id. at 233-234.) Yet that is the only evidence — other than her own conclusory statements — that plaintiff advances to demonstrate that Amtrak regarded her as being disabled.
