Praise the Lord!!!! I have had everyone in the church praying for the past year. Some felt I might not get it because I haven't had the money to go to a doctor in quite a few years. However my injuries and surgeries were very well documented plus the degenerative problems I have been having with them. I have tried going to a doctor about once every 5-7 years but was disgusted when they kept acting like there wasn't that much wrong. Turns out those Xrays when compared showed the slow degeneration of the bones plus I failed the breathing test the SS doctor gave me.
It has been overcast and rainy plus my back was still hurting so I slept in today. Of course there was something important in my mailbox LOL. I got the paper from the court and it says "I have made a fully favorable decision in your case......found you disabled as of Oct 16, 2006 because of anterior cervical diskectomy and interbody fusion at C5-C6, chonic low back pain, degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, osteoarthritis, obesity and reactive airways disease so severe that you are unable to perform any work...."
It will take a few months before I get my check which will probably be about $700 a month. That is plenty for me and the fuzzy butts, just have to make it through these summer months. I figure God will get me through it, he has brought me this far :)

The Good, The Bad and The Really Ugly
Well it is only Tues night but this has been an eventful week. I woke up Sun with a tiny bit of a sore throat which has turned into a very sore throat.
Monday I finally got my day in court before the disability judge. We were only in there about 5 minutes, I nodded, said yes a lot and suddenly it was all over. The lawyer said that I was approved tenatively but nothing is definite until I get it in writing which will take about 3-4 weeks. So I am rather numb but have been told I am supposed to be happy, maybe :)
When I got home I found a letter from the Food Stamp Office taking away my food stamps. Let's see I made $207 on 1 Mar, $319 on 1 Apr and $241 on 1 May. With that whopping salary and another $300 coming on 1 Jun and $160 on 1 July, it seems I no longer qualify for assistance *eyes rolling*.
Today has been awful. The long drive to court Monday left my right side in a lot of pain. After the 4 hours going, coming and being there, we also spent a few hours running some errands for Frances and going to Walmart. I picked up some bags of dirt and manure and was also able to get Eugene to bring the glider and rocker over for me. I was going to try posting about it in my garden blog but it has been locked because they think it is spam ????? Also my recipe blog is locked so I can't post the chicken soup recipe I made up yesterday. Oh, and the computer is still giving me a fit with the stupid adware bugs, GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Well, I am heading back to bed. I am still in a lot of pain from Monday and probably will be for another day or two. As soon as I get batteries for the camera I will get pics of the "oasis" and post them in the garden spot.
Hope your weather is as nice as mine is,

Lovely May Day
After two weeks off in April, I really had to catch up. The teachers are trying to use up their personal days and I worked 4 days a week the last few weeks plus spent the extra day doing laundry or cleaning house. The weekends I spent in bed recovering LOL.
Today was beautiful. We had terrible storms over the weekend and it was super cold and dreary (almost freezing this morning). I worked Monday and took the kids out in the afternoon after the sun came out. There was a brisk breeze and I was going to drag them back inside but they were saying they were warm and wanted to stay out. It was probably my last day of teaching so I am trying to get in the swing of yard work and crafts, getting ready for summer.
I spent the day weedeating and reconstructing the Oasis. The umbrellas were blown all over the yard during the storm Sunday but I fished them out of the weeds and rebuilt my little place. I ate lunch at the Oasis and had a delicious cold chicken salad with broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheddar. It was so refreshing that I had another one for supper. It really hit the spot after lugging that weedeater all day.
