First of all, most of you know what an odd sense of humor I have sometimes...:roll::roll:
Now for the good news-
I got my official notice from social security yesterday, and am happy to FINALLY say I was approved! I was denied in Dec because of my work history, not because of ALS. I found that odd, but...
So I reapplied on 3.6.09 with the help of my friend the lawyer, yes, she's working for me for free.
I will be on ssd AND Medicare as of 6/1/09. I'll be 49 in June also, so I figure it's my birthday gift from the government. LOL My first check should arrive in July.
I do have to find out how I'm supposed to apply for benefits for my 2 youngest children, and also need to know how much money I can earn at work while drawing disability. That's if I even want to continue working. Have to admit, I kinda like being at home for the boys and making it to all of their ballgames!
But I wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate all of the friendship and support on this forum. I've had quite the long list of "things" to do while waiting for this ssd decision. Never thought I would be so excited about Medicare...
I wonder if that would entitle me to the Sr Citizen Discount at Wendy's............:mrgreen:
take care all
