Whew. Looks like today, I won my disability case after 785 days. If all goes well, I'll still be shoveling snow on my street for some time to come. At least I effen hope so.

Thanks Brew. What it means is that I can pay the two years back taxes and do some long over do painting and other similar stuff.

It's called total disability but I still don't know the particulars yet. It means that if retros to 2006, the taxes will be easy. I've been a wreck about it for two years. I wouldn't mind selling sometime down the road but this means I can do it on my own schedule when it comes.

I have the best "health care" in the world for now. State is wonderful. I chewed out two of my doctors for abusing it. I didn't say it that way but I think they know what I meant. I told them that just because I had it, doesn't mean that they have to use it for redundant testing and nonsense vists.

For a time I had to get my drugs from Canada that had to get them sent here from India. It took months and is insane. What I have now costs nothing but it took a long time to get that. I hope I can keep some form of it.

I don't say it much but I am grateful that I live in this country. I may not deserve it, but at least I would have had a shot, no matter the outcome.

Barb,
You beat me to it Grin

. Congratulations Charlie. I know from experience (I've helped numerous people with SS claims) just how damned difficult it is to get on disability (ppd or total). What chaps my ass in a lot of these cases is that *some* people with hangnails can get disability without batting an eye, yet others, like Charlie, have to fight tooth and nail to get what they should have gotten without so much as as appeal!

I've thought about this too. Yesterday, before I got the notice, I sent out my last good item on ebay. It would have been impossible to keep the lights on for more than a few weeks. My neighbor, the Reverend, who has been great to me, invited me out for coffee to ask me how it was going. I got a big package of testimonies from several medical and State professionals as well. It turn out that it wasn't needed but again, what a coincidence!

You're not old Redd. I'm a first year boomer and we never admit that anyone gets old.
