Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2005Kandi
Good to see you back on here. You have been missed. I am sorry to hear that you have been going thru so much. Are you on disability now. I hope you will be able to get disability or another job. Can you get Cobra since you lost your other health insurance. Just some thoughts, incase you have not thought of those areas yet. I hope things turn around for you soon. I hope you soon get that hip healed. If you need to talk I am around.  SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo waiting for disability - waiting for uneployment (company is fighting it) cant really look for a job yet - cant sit or stand for long periods of time (hip - bone stimulator seems to be helping) - waiting to see the ortho guy - in what seems like a holding pattern & the stress is really hurting me - not sleeping & not eating - but thanks for missing me around here - i have lots of time on my hands now, so i hope to be here more often.. kandi It must all be making you nuts. I hope the bone stimulator really is helping and that your hip finally improves. They tried to contest unemployment with my husband once - didn't work and it was resolved fairly quickly so hang in there. (It was a *really* foolish situation - the assistant manager who had major anger issues blew up and fired Mike when EVERYONE knew that Mike was planning to quit in about a month! Stupid guy cost the company unemployment because he couldn't control his temper.) Got you in my prayers for it all to work out for you. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Kandi, your rheumatologist can help you get disability. I couldn't get mine--state sent me to one of their doctors and I didn't even know then that there were rheumatologists.

He wrote a better report, with more restrictions than my doctor had. ... Chocolate arboreal marsupial bioluminescence? Cocoa-koala light. Hi Firechief! I'm glad you got an honest doctor at SSA. My caseworker at SSA flirted with me and was morally slimy. Maybe he thought that I could become a prostitute for a living--? The doctor SSA sent me too looked at my hands & knees and reported "some" swelling and redness," (I was crawling to the bathroom every morning, that is, when I could finally MOVE to get up.) then SSA decided that with my "background and education" (poor white trash and highschool dropout), I could work. I have been "working," teaching myself to write in between the chunks of y-e-a-r-s of being bedridden. Who knows, maybe I'll finally finish and sell a blockbuster, or even receive just "good reviews?" My dreams of that inspires me to something beyond just being deformed, crippled, and chronically in pain. It gives me a life without really having one that functions the way I'd like it to. I want to give back to my beloved husband for all of his sacrifices for me. My Best to You, Jan2 >> Kandi, your rheumatologist can help you get disability.

Cocoa-koala light. oh and cobra was offered to me at $350 a month - i wouldnt be able to afford that if i WAS working....seems a bit high - considering they are offering it to a person with no job... i got to see all my docs (rheumy, endo & primary) before health insurance expired - all are quite willing to help me with meds (samples or indigent programs) and also with seeing them, all have offered to see me knowing i have no health insurance & no money - the endo surprised me - i thought he was quite cold the first time i saw him, but this time he was kind, generous & understanding...almost made me cry.....also all are willing to support my bid for disability... kandi I am sorry to hear all that you are going thru. I hope your disability and unemployment come thru quickly. I am wishing the best for you sweetie. Know that I am always thinking of you.
