Getting my ducks in a row.

Morphine sucks. I mean it really helps my back but it makes me nuts.

Anyhow,
I just sent Mitchell an email, which I should have done a week ago, again thanking him for a great time. I also reminded him that since the weather is getting nicer, he should come down in the evenings and we could go walking on the boardwalk or the beach.

Oh, yeah, other things!!

I am one step closer to getting full "temporary assistance" through NYS Social Services. I got a paper in the mail a few days ago stating that:

"Sandra has been determined to be exempt from participating in Temporary Assistance work activities effective April 20,2007 because according to medical evidence she is currently unable to work due to a medical issue."

Part one down. I sent a copy to my disability lawyer to see if it will help getting the SSDI any faster.

Then two days later I get a letter from Social Services to have my "Board Certified" Neurologist fill out another medical form. This one was 4 pages long. Same damn thing as the last one but more details. This one will cost me $35 for my neurologist to do. I will be billing Social Services for this one!

So, I took over the forms today and also called my neuro opthalmologist because his office still has not sent paper work over to my neuro.

I am truly getting tired of doctors, lawyers, government agencies, etc. Why am I still having to prove myself?

Every day though, no matter how frustrated I get, I am happy in my heart because I have people in my life that make sure I am taken care of. So many people do not have the support system that I have. Over the past year I have developed the habit of trying to help someone or other who asks me for my knowledge. I am glad to give back in someway.
