Hopefully Help is on the way

Okay a little bit of good news but not to much. I received an e-mail from Binder and Binder. Here is what it says:

"Congratulations!

After careful review of the information you have provided us, we feel that
you have a viable claim, and are willing to assist you in your pursuit of
Social Security Disability Benefits.

We take pride in winning cases as quickly as possible. Therefore, one of
our Intake Specialists will be contacting you within the next 2-3 days to
complete the paperwork necessary to get started."

So I will be hearing from them sometime this week I hope. Yea!!!! Me!!!!! But this is still just in the starting stages and I have been there before. So I have not gotten my hopes up yet. I am going to remain skeptical until I see money in my hand. I have been this close before. They want me to have information on hand when they call concerning my doctor's address and phone numbers and all meds I am taking and all the jobs I have had in the past 15 years. So that should help. We all know that I can't do hair anymore or computer work 8 hours a day or even work on the machines I was doing before I moved to Savannah. That was all I have done the past 15 yrs., so that should be a easy to show I can't do. Below is another part of the e-mail from them outlining SS/DS criteria for receiving benefits.

"The primary criteria needed to receive Social Security Disability benefits
is that you have a medical condition that has lasted or is expected to last
12 months in duration, and that this medical condition will prevent you from
performing any gainful employment in the National economy. When evaluating
claims, the Social Security Administration takes into account your age,
education, work history, and medical conditions. We must prove to the
Administration that you cannot perform your past work, and in some cases, no
work at all. "

Okay, past work is a hairdresser, a computer operator, and working on a machine that twists and turns my already deformed hands, as you can see by my picture of my hands that I have added as my picture. So how would you like your hair cut today? Crooked or straight and would you like for me to do it for you? Or how fast would you like your info typed into the computer that is needed in a hurry? Not very fast, I hope because it takes me more time to proof read to make sure I have hit the right keys than it does to type the info in!!!! It may take me 30 minutes to write an e-mail or other things. My hands give out and begin to hurt to the point that I have to stop and rest to finish. So when you guys get a blog from me, keep in mind that it may take me a long time to finish it unless my hands are not hurting the day I am writing. And I have driven my husband to work for the last two days and my left hand hurts very bad from just holding the steering wheel. Okay done for the day!!!

Here are just a few pictures of hands and feet to show you what I look like.
