Updates and hopefully good news

Okay guys, I have an update that I hope is good news. i got my first call from Binder and Binder that states something past the e-mail I told you about. I have given them all of the information about the doctors and the ER visits that I have has since I got here and the things that I have done and been through with SS in the past 3 years and especially the past 3 to 4 weeks with this on again off again as to where the appeal is. So after an hour on the phone answering all the questions that I could possibly answer for them, they are sending me a packet in the mail within the next 7 to 10 business days that has things for me to sign and all of that good stuff so they can get the info from the doctors and hospitals and whatever else they need. I hope that this is finally the end of a long road with a positive outcome. We will just have to wait and see. Once I get the paperwork signed and sent back to them, I will be assigned a case worker ( is what they called it) that will be the person I work with from now on and none of this calling and just talking to anyone that answers the phone. So I will be able to communicate with just one person!!!! What a good sound. I have spoken to Terry who was very good and nice and was very helpful but then you just have to find a way to get to her. After many transfers you are there but never know how long it will take. Then today I did all of my paperwork with Alexandria who was very kind and helpful and patient. It took an hour and she told me at the start that it would take about an hour or longer. So when they sent the e-mail letting me know what they would need, I got everything together and wrote everything down so that I would have it readily available when she asked. It helped her and she was very grateful for that. So I am set and ready to get going again and hoping for a better turn out this time.

And a great big thanks and hug and kiss to my daughter-in-law!!!! And why, you say? Because she has a friend that works for CNN and she asked if he had any advise for me and he said I was doing all the right things by contacting the people I have even though they have not responded to me. But he also gave us a link to go to for more help and we checked it out on a fast note last night but we are going to check into it more so we can look at it closely and see what I need to do. There is also a number to call and speak to someone there which may be the best way to get the answers we are looking for. So wish me luck on that and hopefully that will be another way to get something done. Way To Go, Michelle!!!!! Great Daughter-in-law, don't you think???
