Paise,
I am so sorry that your husband has been ill and treated to the barbaric Social Security Disability system. It seems that they just would rather we die. I won't give them the satisfaction. I hope you have a Merry Christmas anyway, I have found that while getting gifts is fun, and giving gifts is much more fun, it really comes down to having good friends and family in your life. If that was the criteria for Christmas most people would be a lot happier. I am grateful for the family I created and
thrilled to have them in my life. I am even more grateful for the people I have met here on ECF. This is a great group and we all support and encourage each other.
When you get to the hearing phase please have a good lawyer. It is essential. They will help you to prepare, what records to have with you Everything should be documented.
I understand all of the pain and the stress that comes with most of the diseases and maladies you described. I have a pretty good combo of them myself. I can't see doctors so we can only guess at this point what else I will have to deal with.
By the way, I get the sores your husband has and I am very troubled by them turning into infections that my body won't fight on its own.
I have to say that you should come here and chat whenever you need an ear, we welcome everyone with open arms.
You and your family will be in my prayers for a better tomorrow and always.
Karen
