Eli,
Thank you for replying. I am sorry for all you are going through too. If it gives you any comfort, when I applied for disability I was worried because I heard all of the nightmares of how difficult it was and how long it took also but I was approved the first time and it only took 3 months from the time I turned in my paperwork until I got a decision. I'm not saying this will happen for you, just giving you a ray of hope. I would be happy to share more with you about some of the ways my husband and I have discovered how to still be intimate without excruciating pain but I prefer to Private Message you rather than share it in an open forum and risk the chance of offending someone and after all there we do have young readers who don't need details. It's late tonight and I have an appointment tomorrow but I will try to PM in the next day or two.
