Morning all. I have to say, going on day 9, that I have been feeling pretty good emotionally, with everything that's going on. Seems like people I haven't talked to in a long, long time are showing up in my life. Maybe there is a reason for this. huh?

My brother, who is having a house built in FL, will be leaving me here in MD..not good as he is the only family I have left, but will be staying w/me on and off until August. His wife is already working out of state, keeping with the children; two dogs, 5 cats.

Last Sunday evening, my brother and his wife took me out to an Italian dinner. Yummm. Since my appetite isn't what it should be, I was anxious about not being able to eat much. To my surprise, neither one of them could finish there dinner either and guess who got to bring the leftover home? That was a couple of meals already made.

I do not hear much from dh, and he is still getting testing done by the neurologist. The doc wants to see us both when all the test are complete.

Today I am a little stressed out b/c I have so many bills to write out, and have an application for my disability interview to determine if I am still eligible for disability. All three of my doctors agree that I cannot work, so pls wish me luck. I don't know of anyone who would hire someone who has down days that can last 2 - 4 days, gets tired so easily and takes naps, and almost everyday wakes up from pain. Who would put up w/that, plus the fact that any stress sets off my anxiety. Not a good candidate.

Better get going, it's almost 11:30am. Wow, where does the time go?

Love ya all and big hugs, Terry

HI Button

I am glad you are doing pretty well. You can write out those bills and have plenty of time to get that application done. You have filled out this app before so just have to do it again the same way. I am sure they will give you your disability.

Hope today will be a good one

Hugs

Mary

Hi ya Mare, I'm trying not to feel too overwhelmed and I have contacted my disability attorney that I used and he said he would be happy to look over my application.

My papers are buried in our junk room, when the wooden floors were put in, and I cannot get to them, but my attorney has them.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I need all the reassurance I can get right now. This is my first review and after it's over, I'll probably wonder why all the stress...lol.

Thanks again dear, and pls wish me luck. Big hugs , Terry
