WOOHOO! I was approved for disability

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 :)
