New Development in Disability

I know that it has been a while since there has been any post on my blog, but there have been several reasons. The first one is that it took a while to get everything together for Binder and Binder and myself to get things ready. Now they have everything they need and have started the process for me. I don't have to deal with the SS Disability Office at all. If they contact me I am to tell them to call Binder and Binder and let it go at that. So on Saturday, the 30th of May, I received information in the mail from the SSO has received my new claim for dsiability benifits. They sent me the information that was sent to them by Binder and Binder and I am to keep it for my files. This is the new claim that they filed from December 2008 to now. They said I would hear something, again in 90/120 days on my claim. As if I haven't waited 3 years already!!!!! Anyway, Binder and Binder are alos still working on my appeal from where I had to go before the judge and was again turned down. They are appealing that to the Appeals Board at this time and I am still waiting to hear on that one too.

My next reason for no post was that in April my grandson was pushed from his skateboard by a dog and he cracked his skull and was in the hospital for two days to make sure he was okay. He was knocked off his skateboard and was taken to his dad and he statred throwing up blood immediately. His Dad took him to the ER at the local hospital and they told him that it was not blood it was koolaid. Was pretty thick koolaide my son said. Anyways, they let him sit in the ER throwing up blood for almost 3 hours before the took him back to be seen. They immediately transferred him to Scotish Rite hospital in Atl. because they were unable to treat his injury there. It gers worse or funnier depending on how you look at it!! The ambulance broke down 5 minutes from Scotish Rite and it took them 30 minutes to get another ambulance to transport him 5 miles. It is funny now but was not at the time.

The last reason is that when I came back from Atl. I began to hurt all over and I was in so much pain I could not hardly walk let alone type on a computer. I was like that about 2 to 3 weeks(I hurt so bad I don't remember how long) and I finalyy got up one morning to go to work and I was in soooo much pain that I was actually throwing up from pain. So I called in (first time in all the time I have been working at this 20 hour a week job) and told them I was going to the ER to get some help. The doctor took one look at me and asked me what was wrong and I told him and told him my feet hurt so bad and were so swollen that I thought the would pop open. He immediately gave me the strongest pain shot they had for my pain and a shot of cordizone for the swelling and the other problems associated with my RA. He sent me home with 3 days of nothing but bed rest to make things better and no work either!!! He also gave me a 12 day supply of Predisone to take for the rest of the swelling.

So there you have the news and what is happening. I am better now but am still having severe pain in my knees and ankles but am not saying how bad it is because I don't want anyone to have to worry about me. My left hand is really hurting from all the typing since I have to spread fingers that don't want to spread the right way. But I just wanted to let everyone know what is happening and how great Binder and Binder have been!!!
