I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I finally got a call from my disability (social security) attorney and I am scheduled for a hearing in front of the judge June 5. It's been a long 2 years waiting but at least if I get this, I'll have an income coming in. Those years working for the phone company really helped my mthly benefits. Look like if I win, I'll get $1500/mth plus I'll get a check for my son until he turns 19. Plus, they have to pay back benefits to the date I applied which means they owe me my mthly fee (plus son's) times 23 mths. MMMM!
God I hope I win my case. I can't imagine I wouldn't. I'll be askin ya all to start a prayer chain the night before. I've been living off $450/mth for 2 yrs (thank god for my mom helping me out w/the bills, otherwise, we would be out on the streets). It's been rough. But now, if I get SSDI, no one can force me to work.
Hope everyone is fine. Karen, thank you so much for the beautiful card and I'm going to email you soon's I get email up which should be real soon. Annie and all others who sent emails of concern, thank you too. You are all so sweet to remember me.
My doctor told me what with the damage done to my hips and back from the deg joint disease and the osteoporosis, there's nothing much they can do for me except keep me out of pain as much as posible. If I get my settlement, I surely will be buying a toilet seat raiser and a tub rail for getting in/out of the tub. And I need one of those thingys you use to pick up things off the ground and one of those shoe/sock putter onners, lol-I don't know what the heck their names are, but they would eliminate the pain of trying to do certain things. And, of course, my mom is 75 yrs old and wants to retire but was afraid to because she was worried about me so has put it off.
If I win my case, I'm going to pay her back all I owe her so she'll have plenty money to retire.
I'm just so excited, I can't stand the wait, but I'm blessed the day is coming soon that I can finally talk to the judge and explain to him my disabilities and what I'm going through and why I can't return to work.
So glad to hear of some good news for you my friend, we were worried about you, especially not hearing from you in a while...I wish you the best my friend.
luv

PS, by the way you'be been there more than enough for me too.
I appreciate all your dances for me, lol-chair dances, mind dances-lol, I do those all the time.
I just got on -missed the tremendous amount of posts yesterday and today---what the heck? Is that REALLY Vee confessing to using all those newbie names? OMG--I may owe some people an apology. Let me finish reading and I will post a comment.
I'm still in shock--especially if Vee is really the one saying all those horrible things and talking about how she tricked us? If that is true, she tricked me the most.....I'm the one who was played the fool bcz you all knew she was a troll but I continually defended her-- to the point that I almost stopped coming to this board bcz of her.
I'll post real soon--looks like I've got alot to sift thru
Donna,
She started out nice last nite and then lost it and started use everyone sign in names and on some just peoples names. It was really something. But you had no way of knowing!!! She is one smart cookie
