It has been a long few days and I am trying to get my act together. It is hard but with everyones help and prayers I am truly trying. My other 2 cats are walking around as if they are lost. I have one who has been very klingy. I know I did the right thing because I would never subject an animal to pain. Yesterday I tried to drive to my attorneys office to fill out the appeal paperwork for social security. I don't even know if I am allowed to drive with the patch but it wasn't far from my house. Of course the only parking spot was at the end of the parking lot so I had to walk across to get to the door. What a trial that was. Maybe I should find out about a handicapped sticker for my car. Anyway the meeting took all of 15 minutes and I went home. That was it for me. Pain Pain Pain. Don't think I will be driving any time soon. Everyone here at ds has been wonderful and I can't tell you how important your support has been. It was a fluke that I found this site and yet it probably has been the most important thing I could have done for myself. I love you all and appreciate you all. Have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend for those of you who are traveling and for everyone else just have some fun.

Jaz where do you live? I was approved and so was Riley, He even had it for about 5 months, but my husbands income affected that, so neither of us can get it, I wish we could, there is no way I will ever work. which somedays I wish I could, I miss it, others when I hurt, I dont care. Have a great holiday, we have a lot of graves to hit, we have had 8 deaths this year alone. Sad huh? Hope that doesnt happen this year. knock on wood.. Oh, and I know about the lost thing, Elmer, Our pug, was so lost after we lost Ivy, He moped around for weeks I felt so bad for him. It was aweful then we throw this puppy at him, talk about torture.. at least he has someone again, huh?
Sometimes I wonder if finding this place was a fluke or divine intervention. I can\'t imagine not having you guys\' support and friendship in my life. I\'m sorry your pain is so bad. I\'ve heard it usually takes a couple tries for SS. I hope everything starts getting brighter for you, my friend.
Hello, My husband was diagnosed 2 months ago how long have you had gbs? Its great that you are home. My husband is home also but he can walk but gets very tired by the middle of the day. I would like to know more we are new to this its just so terrible and no answers please write back.
I was approved for social security disability as soon as I got out of the hospital. I feel bad for anyone that has to go through a lot of trouble to get it. My husband is also disabled and he had to wait 3 yrs to get his social security disability. He just got it. His was harder to get because he has back problems, mine was easy because I have gbs and my doctor told me I fall into the 20% category that will never walk again. Of course I believe in God and not doctors so I keep praying and not giving up on walking.
Again, I\'m sorry about Radar. But do you feel as you should be driving? I know it may not seem much, but I know that a lot of people shouldn\'t be driving because of all the muscles that are used. Anyway, look into the handicap card, I don\'t think you would have a problem. And I agree, when he gets home, ask him to tell you all about it, while he is cooking you dinner and taking care of things :) We do, why can\'t he? J/K have a wonderful day.
