I have n't been here in a while just want to post that my hearing was scheduled for November 27 but it was continued by the Judge because My attorney hadn't updated my file since July 06 and I have had 3 more operations since that time. I was so distraught that I wound up in the psych ward for 9 days. I can't believe that his happened I was able to find out from the Judge that h e received a file 3 inches thick of records the day before my hearing date. To make a long story short I was so desparate and upset I just fell apart and my attorney's office didn't call to tell me of the delay until 4:57 the day before. My husband was so upset he told the attorney that he was going to the hearing because we had nothing from Social Security saying it had been postponed. The attorney was furious but my husband went to the hearing sight the next morning and I was to be heard at 8:30 my husband knocked on the door and the Judge came to the door and was very nice to my husband and told him what had occured. The Judge said that my attorney had missed getting my records in on 3 occasions The judge said that he was retiring but that he would get it taken care of and re scheduled with another judge. My husband left and then went to the attorneys office where he was told by my attorney that he didn't represent me anymore and he was escorted off the premises by a police officer. Needless to say I just broke and was hospitalized the next day. Now my hearing is rescheduled for February 25 at 1:00. I went to my neck surgeon for a follow up visit and I was told today that the disc above the 3 level fusion with titanium plate has now ruptured and that the severe burning pain I have had for the last year is coming from this disc problem and that I will have to undergo more surgery. I just don't know how much more I can take the financial stress of not having my social security disability income is overwhelming I don't know how much more I can take. Please pray for me I am in so much pain I can't even think I don't know what to do anymore.
