Default 1 more new guy

hello all
i am a 53 year old male widower who used to be a tool and die maker. sept 1 2010 i was taken to the er because i had been in bed sick with a monster headache for 4 days my mom my sis and my daughter got me to hospital where they did a ct scan and said i had "a large fuzzy mass" in my brain, next was a lumbar puncture where they found blood in the fluid this ment a trip to a big hosp by ambulance. neurosurg said ruptured aneurysm and off to surgery i go. i woke up 11 days later so they tell me. i knew nothing for about another week after that. 3 weeks after surg i could sit up on the side of the bed with 2 helpers 1 more week and sent home no insurance so you gotta go. ended up with 2 aneurysms 1 burst 1 not 9 coils in my brain and a shunt drain thing thru my skull and under the skin to a valve above my ear down thru me inside that drains into my guts somehow. the hosp wanted me to go into a nurseing home but i dident want to be put there so all of the women in my life banded together to take care of me at home. i got a medicaid card 4-5 months into this to cover most of the bills and let me see some other doctors but i am still very messed up. i have to take pain pills and anti panic attack pills and a high blood pressure pill (never had high B P before) and a anti seizure pill. i do what the docs and therapists tell me to do.
i go to phy therapy 3 days a week if i can stand up. i got a denial letter from SS last week they said i could not do the work i have done all my life but i could work for 6 hours a day as what i dont know because i cant even sit up in a recliner chair for 6 hours let alone do anything. i have tremmors very bad so much that i cant walk when they get going and can barely get food into my mouth. the women at phy therapy all got mad that i was denied. this is the max i can do i need to lie down to rest now i just wanted to say hello.
