Hi angel friends! :) just a quick update before i begin some seasonal writings :) This week, has been a whirlwind of trying to get things situated, and in order :) Today, my mom, dad, and Holly went with me, to the social security place here in our city :) they spelled my name wrong on my SS card back in 2000. when we went there today, the guy said, i need a copy of my medical records. oh my! We came home, i couldn't find my paperwork from last January's visit to the hospital when i fainted. We called Backus hospital, and they said, i could get a copy of that visit. my mom, dad, Holly,and i then went to backus hospital. they have a new feature for visitor's, you have to get your picture taken, and it prints onto a picture, so you can go in. my mom, Holly, and i also got a sticker with our picture. we walked into the main area of the hospital, medical records area, they gave me a print out. :) we then went back to social security place in our city. inside there, the guy said, "is everyone right? the guy spelled my name wrong! what!!! oh my! i said, "everything is ok, except, you spelled my name wrong" the guy said, "oh, that's why you are here". ok ok... breathing deep. the guy finally spelled it right, and gave me the receipt :) my new SPELLED CORRECTLY Social Security card will be arriving in 2 weeks, and i finally will be able to get my photo ID. whew!!! This has been such an ordeal! i'm so glad, and thankful all is ok now :) they make it very difficult, to get an ID card these days, but i'm just so thankful, and relieved, that i was able to get everything situated :) we'll be going to the DMV again, with all they want, all they need, and i will finally be able to get my photo ID, and we're gonna help Holly get her photo ID too :) a very very special thank you for my mom, dad, and Holly, for going with me to all these places, and thank you all our dear angel friends, for all of your support :) it hasn't been easy, going into all these places, but am so glad i did, and it went as well as it could :) i'm doing all of this, to get my photo ID, so that when i go to the bank to withdraw my earnings, they can see my photo ID :) my bank now, requires a photo ID :)
