Hi all.Haven't been on for awhile,I know.Things are status quo.Still waiting for this crazy disability to come through.The last update was it was in review with the Appeals Council and they were waiting for medical evidence from my doctor.Gee whiz,how much medical evidence do they need?!Wasn't there enough at my hearing?I should have gotten it then anyway.I never should have been denied.Brrother!
Also a little bit of sad news~I lost my cat Bam Bamm on November 2nd.Her kidneys were so bad not even hydrating helped her.All she did was vomit and she was as dry as a prune the vet said.It was time.I lost her sister in July,and I think that had a lot to do with it.She missed her terribly,and I watched her go down hill from there.They were littermates:)
The good news is I adopted a 7 month old kitten yesterday.His name was Snugglebug,but I changed it to Boo Boo Kitty~Boo for short.He got his name because he was afraid of his own shadow.He kept scaring himself,lol.He was playing the piano this morning.Maybe I should have named him Liberace instead:)
As for how I feel~baby steps.I've had a better week this week.Every day gets closer to recovery,right?It's a very slow process and I've learned to accept that.
Well,time for church.It's a beautiful Indian Summer Day here in Chicago.Take care all and enjoy your day:)

Hi all....been awhile since I've journaled.Not much to say I suppose.Same ole,same ole.I have been feeling better though.I'm finding over the last few months that I can tolerate more physically.Hey~I can push a vacuum for a few minutes~yippee!Do I need to get out more or what,lol.I can tolerate being up more than I could before.This method of chiropractic adjustment is working!It's slow,as it is a healing process,not a "band-aid"treatment.My chiropractor is my inspiration~She was in her early twenties and teaching school when she fell ill with this.She was down for two years,and she went to this kind of chiropractor~she credits this Dr. with saving her life.She is married,runs her own practice and gave birth to her third child this year.There's no reason I can't be well some day also:)My ambition is to be a rich and famous cookbook author/interior decorator some day.I'll have all my DS friends flown to my mansion on the French Riviera for dinner~cooked by my three personal chefs,of course:)
Got a call from Binder and Binder today~I have to call them back on monday,as I had stepped out when she called.Just an update,she said.I'm SICK AND TIRED OF UPDATES!I want my money!The way it stood last month was my case was on Mr.Binders'desk ready for review~what's new this month?No clue.I hope she doesn't tell me that it's still on his desk.I'm getting frustrated waiting for the money to appear in my bank account,only to no avail:( I know it will be a big,fat check,but I need it soon.Ugghh!Guess I just need to vent to people I know understand:)
It's funny also how this crazy illness~or any serious illness really~makes you grow.I look at where I was physically and emotionally last year,and I can see changes in my life and friendships like crazy.My faith in God has grown greatly.My friendships have changed because I have grown and my needs and wants from people are not the same.I don't need or want what I needed and wanted before.I have grown out of some people and I have grown into some new people.Kinda sad but kinda exciting at the same time~a little scarey~yikes!
Well,that's what's been on my mind~take care all and have a wonderful weekend!

It's great that you can analyze and look back and see the changes Beckie! I think most of us would say we've grown a lot since diagnosis. Two years ago, I wouldn't have even been up at seven thirty to read this journal!! I've come a long way. Thank the Lord.
I also got my B and B check!! EEEEEK! I know, but I waited forever for it! Once it comes though...it will have been worth the wait.
It doesn't hurt to question them often on your progress. They have inside info. They know who's desk your file is on and they can put on the pressure. Remember, they don't get paid till you do...and they don't like waiting a long time either!
You have built it....it will come!!!!
Big warm hugs on a dreary day in Jersey!!

I did that too...It will help, and it is slow also! But for me I had developed a severe spinal degeneration...and arthritis so I had to stop the lower back and some midback adjustments! :-(
I'm glad it is helping you hon!
Hang in there on the other thing! This person is just frustrated I'm sure as we can all get! Not very professional of her tho! ;-(
Hey all...got a letter from B&B yesterday saying they have requested cassette review of my hearing.They're just waiting for a response from the review council.You know,someone almost had to get my testimony mixed up.I don't know who typed it up for review,but the timelines were wrong,the dates were wrong.The letter I got back said I worked from 1986 to 1995 as a phlebotomist technician(incorrect name first of all) and I quit that job because I started getting sick.No,I quit that job to go to med tech school.I left my job in 2007,and I started getting sick in cooking school.It also said I quit cooking school because I didn't fit in...no,I left the lab in 2007 because management was firing people left and right,and since I wasn't one of them,they were after me.
Thank God I'm on tape...I'm hoping a review of my taped testimony is all it will take for them to realize I really do deserve it.I don't think it was the judge at all.He hears too many hearings and sees too many people to remember what everybody said.He went by what was typed up.My opinion?Sombody goofed up big time!
Hope all is well with everyone:)

That's the problem with the back-up in our Judicial System! We are all just a number, and when our turn finally comes...someone else messes up! It stinks!
So sorry you have to go this..but there are obvious errors here and B and B will straighten it all out. I'ts just such a shame how they keep us waiting!!
I'm here for you !!
Love, me!

That sucks...I hate this entire process!

Oh, you poor kid, to have that happen to you. Stupidity and carelessness! I hope it will resolve in your favor, and soon! Take care!

You know,that may very well may be the end of it.I"m not getting my hopes up,but I am keeping a positive thought.Thanks everybody!

Hi Beckie! Nice to hear from you!
I'm so sorry about Bam Bamm....it's so sad when we lose our pets! I'm sure the passing of her sister had a lot to do with her strength and fortitude. Still it's so sad, and I'm sorry.
Glad you ran right out and got a kitten. I know if something ever happens to our Monty...we'll get another kitty! Everybody has to have a pet...and I just love kittens!! Hope this one isn't a curtain climber or a furniture scratcher Beckie...that's the chance we always take with these creatures.
We were luck with Monty! He doesn't claw ANYTHING, but what he does do it puke up hairballs! Oh, for joy!!
I do hope the disability case is close to over..it's been a long wait I know.
Patience my friend. If they were gonna turn you down this time, you'd alreay know!!
Many warm hugs, Beckie!

I hope you're right.And no,Little Boo Boo Kitty is not a scratcher or curtain climber.He was using a scratching pad before I adopted him and he takes right to the one I bought him.His name was Snuggle Bug,which he is,but I named him Boo Boo Kitty after his own shadow scared him.It was like someone said "BOO!" to him,lol.So out of my mouth it came:)I woke up to a piano serenad this AM~Maybe I should call him Liberace instead.
