Now you may be ready for the "Big Leagues" like me lol...riding the handicapped bus. What a treat that is here in PA. I think I am doing good and have lots of strength but just going through the process of pick-up and drop-off and the nastiness of some people (and other patrons) is horrible. I feel like such a dufus when I go through this scenario. Most people think because we are injured/disabled we are total idiots. I am trying to get through that problem all the time. And now you have your SSD you can begin the never-ending paper process of Medicare/Medicaid, etc...the fun never stops. I make so many phone calls, type letters, etc. I feel like I need a secretary anymore. Most people think we sit home and eat bon-bons all day (I can't wait for that to happen) lol. Welcome to the "Big Leagues!"

I think I am probably the only one here that had absolutely no problem with getting SSD. I filled out the paperwork, had someone drop it off, and by the fourth month got a letter saying I had it. No appointments, no attorney, nothing. Strange huh? Although with everything else in life I had a hard time. Go figure.

Good luck with everything and if you need any help from us here please feel free to ask. We all have a wealth of information and it is a great place to get quick info.
Take care,
kathy d
You are not alone by far. There are many of us who got SSDI on the first round with no legal representation. Congrats to all of us, no matter how we were approved!

It's ok Kathy, we have to appreciate the little things that DO make us laugh....I stupidly thought that getting the SSDI was going to be a cure all, but the excitement of getting the money yesterday through me into a small flare...it's also been raining here. I have to laugh at myself for being so dense.

Hi Cindi,
I don't think you are dense. You have accomplished something and for us to accomplish anything in one day is an amazing thing. You go and celebrate.

I think the rain had alot to do with how you were feeling yesterday...I had a bad day yesterday too and today seems not much better and we are expecting rain prob tomorrow here. I get alot more burning and aches before the storm hits. Hope you are feeling less "dense" today. lol.

Congratulations Cindi! I knew you'd receive what you are entitled to.
I thought that when Suzy received her SSDI, in which it was significant, 3.5 years of backpay, that she would cheer up etc. She never smiled, I did all the smiling of course. Although my mental pain was eased her physical pain didn't. But the stress for her was greatly reduced which is a damn good thing.
Sleep good Cindi!!
