I just got word last Thursday that my leave has been extended through July, thank God. I've applied for LTD and SSI/Disability. I have a friend since kindergarten that is now a state senator (I may have told this story before) whose wife has MS and is a big supporter of people that need Disability. He offered to track my paperwork thru the system. He did the same for my neighbor's son who is Bipolar and they got it on the first try. Pray and cross your fingers, cuz if LTD comes thru first I go from $2300 a month with health ins. to $1000 a month with none. Not that I wouldn't be grateful. It's better than nothing a month and surely I could get Medicaid. Problem is, my doctor, the one that provides my pain meds, doesn't take Medicaid. I'd have to pay for an office visit every month. It'd be worth it tho. I think it's like 60 bux.
I've been getting on facebook quite a bit. Found tons of people I went to school with. If you've been on there you know about all these quizzes you can take. I just took one and it really freaked me out b/c it was so right on. I know it doesn't mean anything but here is what it said....
Leslie completed the quiz "What is Your Inner Self?" with the result A Smokelike Person.
You tend to hide you emotions. You are at a very low point in life. You almost seem to not want to go on anymore. Fade a way into smoke not exist. You feel alone in life. You feel as if no body could ever understand you. But there is only one thing that clings you to life. You want to belong. But you dont want to change. You want to be around people you want to have a reason to go on. You are sometimes envious of other people's seemingly perfect lives. If you want to have a seemingly perfect life, then you should start hanging around warm sunlike people, or friendly earthlike people, or tell your problems to an quiet listener moon person. And you always have a speck of hope inside of you. Even if you feel all hope is lost, hope is hard to fully kill. so nurture and try to see life in different eyes, and maybe it'll be a brighter world.
