news!!!

[LoraW30]

Well, after several failed attempts through the years, I've finally got approved for disability and ssi. It's really going to help with past medical bills. I think everyone here knows how expensive it can be to have to see a doc every week or so. Anyway, it's going to be good to have at least a little insurance!!!

I just had to share my good news with everyone here when you all have been so welcoming and warm and sincere.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!!

Hi Lora,

I'm glad your approval came through. Not having as many money worries must be a relief. It seems no matter how careful I am to make sure on how places file my insurance it still gets messed up!
Hopefully everything will go smooth for you now.

Wonderful news Lora. Not having to worry as much about money matters will surely help.

Thanks everyone. I think I've been holding my breath these past few months, what with two heart caths, and routine echoes everytime I went to the doctor.


It's nice to have the help, but I have to admit, I really miss working. My background training is in text books, office management and shipping recieving management. I loved every bit of it, but as you can imagine shipping/recieving is not necessarily the best field of work for someone with cardiomiopathy, valve implant, pacemaker, and hypertension. : )


I miss the work, but am grateful the state finally gave me aproval.

I know one thing your not-RICH! It's money to help, but it's a far cry from any sort of living wage. I do know what it's like to wait forever, appeal after appeal, then getting approved. It takes a major load off of your mind.

Hey Lora,
That is Great News. Like everyone has said, every little bit helps. I have to wait until Aug. 13th to find out if they are going to give me a medical retirement or if I go back to work. Best of Luck to you.

Congratulations, Lora - it's always a long trek to get this and anybody who manages to get it deserves every dime.
