Question Alj hearing, opinions please

Alj hearing opinions please!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, new here and looking for insight or thoughts on my hearing.
Thanks in advance.

Attorney talks to judge first then came asked me if I would change onset date to Feb 2011 (yeah)

We go back and judge introduces himself and Ve Dr something (I can't remember) he was very nice.
Asked if I agreed with new onset date, I said yes.
Asked about my day and pain levels and how it affects my day to day living, listed all my diagnoses and asks Ve if there any jobs I can do, Ve said no, then asks about how meds affect me and asks Ve again if there are jobs while I'm taking these meds, Ve says no, judge asked Ve if I could work 2 hours a day Ve said no.
Then he asked my attorney if there was anything she wanted to add and she brought up my gaf score, last year was 50 and 1 year later it was 47.
Also asked about my schooling, how far I went if I ever failed.

He seemed very sympathetic to my shoulder pain, and he said when he first looked at my records he thought of his wife who had breast cancer and how her arm and shoulder hurt her from the surgery, then he just got quite for a minute. I thought it was kind of him to share that because it helped put me at ease (like he understood what I was going through).

Then he told me we were done but asked attorney to stay, when she came out she told me it looked like a fully favorable but not to call the office and mention it or she would deny it lol.
It all lasted about 40 min and I was not as nervous as I thought I would be, got lucky and got a very pleasent judge and Ve.
Attorney also said I would hear something in 30to 60 days So I guess the second phase begins.
So glad this part is over.

So does this sound good?
No jobs I can do due to diagnoses and meds,
changing onset date,
not being able to work 2 hours a day,
Ve said there was nothing I could do.
Thanks
Bambi
