Im feelin pretty confident...............well kinda confident................with a little nervous mixed in LOL!

The attorney had a little questionnaire that has the questions he is going to ask, and the ones most likely asked in the hearing. It said to fill them out and let him go over them so he can help us answer the questions properly. I thought it was the best thing ive seen yet!

Well he read my answers then kept it! :eek:
I guess he is confident I will answer the questions honestly, and believable :cool:

It sure helps to know the prayers are flyin, cause that does make a big difference!

:grouphug:

Praying for you!
 

Allen,

:grouphug:
It has been a long hard fight, and you are about to have your hearing. It is normal to have a case of the nerves, but rest assured that you will feel confident as you answer their questions. Many of us will be thinking and praying for you. Keep the faith! Fight the good fight! Never give up!
:grouphug:

We'll be awaiting good news...

:cool: EJ

Just returned home
 

from the hearing, and the attorney thinks it went very well. I agree that it went well, and believe this time is it.

The attorney questioned me about the entire history of how I was diagnosed, and why, and how does it effect me. The VE had 3 different chances to give me a job discription I could do, and only came up with "one" that the judge kinda rolled her eyes at. A packing house computer order person?? LOL

They let me really tell my story this time, unlike the last hearing. At the end they had my son come in and asked him some questions. I started to lose it at that point as it is pretty hard to hear someone else talk about what they see.

It feels sooooo good to have this one behind me, win or lose LOL. Now it is all about the wait for the decision. This whole process is like one looooong nail biting cliff hanger :D

Thank you all for your much needed, and appreciated support. Big hugs to my RSD family :grouphug: :grouphug:

I wonder why the VE didn't come up with grocery store computer order person, or donut shop computer order person?

In Pa, one of those jerks told the law judge the claimant could stil be a fish lure wrapping person.

If that is the only job they think you can do, I think you're in pretty good shape, my friend...Vic

Hugs right back:) -- we have all been waiting for your good news. I know the battle hasn't been won yet, but we will continue sending prayers for a positive outcome. Hopefully, now that the stress of worry about the hearing is over, you will feel better mentally and phyically. It is hard to hear someone we love decribe us, I know I would like to think I am still the same person, NOT!!:rolleyes: I've already had to listen to how I changed :( . Take care--relax!!Carose

Oh your post brought tears to my eyes. If that is the only job and the judge rolled eyes, then by golly, you made an impact and I couldn't be more happy to hear this.

It will be hard to wait for your post that says what happens, but prayers are definitely abundant from this household, and from what I've read other households here also.

Hugs. Hang in there.

So far so good...
 

Allen,

Keep the faith bro. Sounds like today was your day!

:cool: EJ

So glad they listened to you Allen, it helps to feel that your input maybe valued.
I understand your sensitivity when your son spoke. It is breaks my heart when I hear what this disease has meant to my children. I think we can often underestimate the impact of such a life changing event on them. It really is a family disease.:(
Good luck with the outcome.
Tayla:hug:
