My initial application for SSI was approved couple weeks ago. Got my backpay credited to my account as of today. Still waiting on the official award letter though. Kiddos have been ill the past couple weeks. Kathryn had pneumonia and was confined to the house for a week (five year olds on bedrest are NOT happy campers) Kris came down with strep, double ear infection, and bronchitis on Saturday, but will be going back to school tommorow (whew). I'm ready to have the house to myself for a few hours tommorow!!!! LOL.

Personally, its been a fairly good, if draining couple of weeks. I guess its a high from getting disability approved. DH said not to get used to it, cause wont be long till the euphoria wears off, and it'll all come crashing down on me. Am keeping fingers crossed that the award letter is soon comming, cause I've been advised by my initial-case worker to not start making appointments until I have the paperwork in hand, cause there might be stipulations on who to see and when and where. I have been assigned a "Future Worker" to contact when the initial award comes in.

Had mentioned being interested in Vocational Rehabilitation, and I believe this "Future Worker" is a case evaluator type, who will be the one to organize the doctor and psychiatric visits to work toward ability to get back into the work-force.

Like I told them, I think I'm fixable, I just need help getting fixed LOLOLOL. Hopefully now we're on the way. Keeping my fingers crossed and my chin up!!!

God Bless us EVERYONE!!!!
