I am happy for you Frank. It takes a lot of perseverance to deal with the system! Kudos to you!

Congratulations....I'm sorry....what's the correct way to respond? I was approved immediately.....and while I was glad it wasn't a long, drawn out process I thought gosh, I must really be in as bad a shape as I feel..... You're right, though. It does sort of put the final stamp of "disability" on things. I'm glad the process is over for you, though. Now....onward and upward!

Oh Frank, snap out of it. Come here so I can bend you over and give you a good swift kick. Oh wait, maybe Deb should do that. ROTF
Chin up, it's all good. Your approved and now you can shove that monkey off your back. The good news is you no longer have to worry about SS questioning your disability. The bad news is you stop earning points for more retirement money. (Did I just say that out loud?) Feel better? Welcome to your official retirement. Jim and I will look for a nice coffee cup for you. *you know we care and just like giving you a hard time*

Frank and Deb,
Glad to hear that the wait and uncertainty is over for you both! Your case is a perfect example of why the disability process needs reform! Now onwards and upwards! What are the two of you doing to celebrate tonight??
