Default I'm in shock

Get the mail yesterday. Great more forms from Social Security
Imagine my total surprise when the letter states
YOU HAVE BEEN DECLARED DISABLED!!!
I had just applied in July and they had just sent me to a psychologist and a rehab specialist in January....so I figured I would be lucky to hear something by this summer.
I know it sounds really weird to be so excited to be declared disabled, I guess it's good to know I am not going looney and I cannot work anymore.
I was having serious difficulty coming to terms with my limitations. I had just returned to nursing after being off raising the kids and totally changed fields from Pediatrics to Adult Cardiology, which I never would have considered in my younger days.....I LOVED my job & co-workers, even though it was challenging.

I will keep my prayers going for those going through the Soc Security maze and hope everything goes smoothly for all.
To everyone on this board and the 'former' board..reading the boards has helped me to get through this challenging time my life and I thank all of you for being just a 'click' away.
