I'm down to crunch time in college, only one month left and 3 finals to take, 4 class projects, and an oral exam in medical terminology, plus the daily assignments in all 5 classes.
I've had some issues recently with my untreated ACOA dad, and my mom who is still in toxic mode. I've had to keep turning that over and praying a lot.
I had my disability hearing on September 16th, and didn't feel very hopeful as my attorney told me I did 'well' in the hearing, and then handed me the huge folder of all my files. Sigh.
He said it was usually 3 weeks to hear something.
I got the denial today, not that I was surprised, but it was still disappointing.
Considering they had also switched attorneys on me mid-stream with no explanation, and the fact that he was not very well versed with my case, I started planning right after the hearing and started looking up other disability attorneys.
I called another firm this morning and the receptionist and I both had a good laugh as I recounted what had happened, and told her at least I was coming complete with ALL my files in hand!
I have an appointment Monday morning at 9.
I was completely disgusted as I read through the denial documents because through that entire hearing, I had to keep shuffling from hip to hip as I had forgotten my orthopedic cushion to sit on, and the judge clearly stated he saw 'no evidence' of pain through the whole hearing.
At any rate, I have taken action, and not reacted, and am still focused on my college classes.
I have maintained all A's and B's this semester so far!

Yeah, you are in the thick of it. The day to day. Before you know it, everything will be very different! I am so proud to hear you are doing well in school. That is such a kick and such a great way to see your progress in a very solid way- you get a grade on your performance and feedback! Wouldn't life be so much easier if you could just get a book, get a teacher, study and read and do research and take a test and pass or fail!!?? For everything?! I would love that- I think I would do really well if everything was that way but its not possible. My heart came with no manual or written directions for assembly. Neither did either of my failed marriages..thanks for your post, its good to hear from you. Your disability will come through exactly when it is supposed to and not a moment sooner. Hugs and much love, Jean
