Just thought I would let you all know I will not be around for about 10 days. I am leaving tomorrow for the beach. I am still not feeling great, but I am hoping the sea air will help.

enjoy barb

Vonn tell her you have MS and forgot

renee go pee on someone that should work I like sandy angle on this gettign an appt

howdy howdy everyone else

Vonn, explain to them that with ms sometimes you do forget things and that you are so very sorry. THEN send the papers asap to them.

Vonn, I agree with what Sandy said. Hope you get this cleared up soon.

Barb, hope the vacation helps ya, hun.

Renee, Hate that jumping through hoops thing too. Hope you get help soon.

Just wanted to check in real quick. Hubby and I went to dinner and a movie tonight. We went and saw Ironman. It was pretty good. We were both big Marvel comic fans when we were younger, so it was something we both enjoyed a lot.

Now to sleep 'cuz I'm wiped out.

Well I took Sandy's advice and walked in which ended up being the 8 hour tour because then I got sent to the hospital and to a CT scan because by then I was bawling and guess what.......I have a kidney stone! So....got pain meds,two liters of fluid and an appointment in a week with a urologist to see if the little bugger has passed...now for the question how do you strain your urine when you are peeing your pants!

Vonn- I turned mine in wayyyy late I just sent them a letter stating the reason ( I was in the middle of an international move) and they sent me a letter back saying they accepted my reasoning and scheduled me a hearing.

thanks ...

I did call her back and left a message and said that I was just depressed and forgot ... and in her message - she's out until monday (another 5 days!) duh!

OH - she had called back a second time to say that she has received all my paperwork and said that it all looks good - she just needs the name of the vocational rehab counselor I went to see .. and a medical release form signed .. so when I left the message - I said that I didn't know Amy's last name and I thought I sent a signed release form back. so MAYBE - I explained enough all about my sx that made sense, so she was calling to 'tie up some lose ends' ...and send it on!

I think I'm experiencing an MS hug ... like someone sitting on me and won't get off ... on my left side (hope it's not shingles again!) this has been going on for 3 days ...

Renee - glad they found the stone .. .OUCH!!

p.s. maybe the extra tidbit I wrote on the last page of the SSDI form really hit home - MAYBE ... we shall see ..

thanks everyone for listening!!

Renee, I am thinking check your undies when you have an accident? Maybe try a pad and see if it catches in there?

My update:

It's raining so no outside work today. We went shopping yesterday and bought groceries and a few plants. OMYGAWD, Walmart is getting expensive! But, they had plenty of rice and flour on the shelves. I expected them to be empty. I'll probably just finish up laundry today and chill out.

Contest update: I didn't win the contest, but it doesn't matter because I already won.

Barb - Have a great time! We want all the details of the cabana boys when you get back. LOL.

Vonn - Sorry about all the mess. The "said" they didn't get my paperwork and it miraculously appeared a few days later. Imagine that. LOL. Hopefully everything will go quickly for you now and you will get approved SOON! It does take a lot of stress off of you when you finally get approved. Things are still tight but you will have some breathing room.

Renee - Sorry to hear about the kidney stone. No wonder you have been so miserable. I hope it passes with a minimal amount of pain. I am glad you went in.

Fin - How fun! You had a date night with DH. That's great. DBF and I used to do that once a week. I miss that!!! But with this dang rental house of his it will be a while before we do that again.

Sandy - You're right, you did win. Who needs a $1,000 shopping spree anyhow. LOL. Seriously, the love for you that your son expressed is worth far more.

Kay - How's the move going?

This morning was clean the bathroom morning. It looks so nice a pretty. I also put the last coat of primer on the canvas for DBF's painting. Once that is dry I will start working on it (tomorrow or Sunday).

EEG went fine yesterday. I had absolutely no problem falling asleep for the test and therefore, the test went quickly. I was actually kind of irritated when she came in and woke me up. I wanted to keep sleeping and I asked her if I could. LOL. I won't get the results until next week. Dang it all! That means 1 more week of dependency on others as well as major hermititis.

hey all ...

hopefully this is a GOOD sign ... I received a letter from the lady that called and she marked the whole page off (not to concern myself about) ... and on the bottom: Additional information -

I left a couple of messages on your answering machine. The first one about good cause you can ignore. However, I do need you to call me as soon as you can so that I can "tidy-up" your online medical report form. Appears to be 2 issues I need to address.

Then she had a medical form in the envelope to sign (w/witness) and return to her .. got that done and going out tomorrow.

I hope I can breathe ... and when it's approved ... should go back to August of last year (I would hope - otherwise even back to January would be okay) ... ANYTHING!

thanks for letting me ramble ... and it's not a 'hug' because it's off on my left side and back around my waist that keeps me from standing up straight or sitting in pain (no happy ground!) LOL ... one more day one more day!

Sandy; we all voted and you won Super Mom award!!! You are a winner to your family and to us; your extended family!!
