I said on Insights thread that I congratulate you, but I understand how it does solidify the reality of your disease...we're in your corner, guy!

Aw Frank, I got SSDI on my second try. I was glad then thought "I must be really bad!" Dark-chocolate sounds good. Congratulations and hope it makes life easier. They never told me kids still in High-school, if not, under 18 can get money. Do yours? If you got it, they get. Sometimes SS needs reminders. You got 5 right?

I'm glad you were approved Frank! I can understand the mixed feelings though. I think about it all the time and know it will be a mixed blessing when/if it happens for me.

Good job, Frank.
I cried any time I had to talk about it, before my approval. I was approved the first time, but I went through several appointments, all the form prep, etc. before it was approved. Every time I did anything relating to the approval process, it upset me. I cried heaps that first day, but I have NEVER since. I'm glad it is behind you, once and for all. Cherie
