Call the SSDI office and your caseworker/lawyer. You must not postpone the surgery, and have drain removed. This can be a life threatening situation medically. This is an emergency and get your physicial health returned before proceeding with your fight. Someone at the SSDI office must be able to get through to those that have the hearing. I had gangreen in my gallbladder from postponing, and could have died. This is what happens when we wait too long to take care of ourselves. You come first not the hearing. Get someone to listen to you. I will pray for you. ginnie
