You know y'all are in my prayers everyday tippy.
Yes I do have a lawyer. When I first went to her She told me that I probably wouldn't need her with all that was wrong with me. I tried on my on and she couldn't believe I was turned down. She said that if I were 50, I'd got it, no problem. So my age is one thing against me. Well the governor did step in but I wish I'd never went to him. It pushed my court date up a couple of weeks but it gave me an out of state judge that had no clue what was going on. I looked him up and every comment on him was bad. He had the biggest denial of disability then all the other judges I looked at. One guy said that they thought he was trying to set a record for most denials in history and they pity who ever get him as a judge. This man asked me why I worked after I applied. I told him that I haven't and he basically called me a liar until my lawyer stepped in. He was one another case. Then he said that I wasn't prescribed a Cain. My lawyer showed him documentation where the Dr told me to get one. He argued that it wasn't prescribed anyway. When I finally got his denial about a six months later, I read some of the20 page letter and never seen why he denied me. I quit reading several pages in when he said that I didn't have to have help to quit drinking in 08. Ticked me off. Just because God helped me and I didn't have to be hospitalized isn't a reason to even look at in my case. Well my lawyer read the whole thing and said that he didn't give one good reason for his decision and she trying to appeal it now. She also told me that out of all the cases with that judge, every one of them was denied. So I'm still waiting. I guess I should've let my mom try to get it when I was young. But I wanted to work and my step dad did too. She wanted me to but told me she was scared that I wouldn't be able to make it to retirement. She was right. Sad thing is, its not my cp as much as its my severe spinal stenosis. I wish I could put that judge inside my body for five minutes. I know he'd be in tears from the pain. I deal with pain good. I've had it all my life. I've pushed through the best I can. I'm still pushing but it's getting harder. All of this is the reason for my depression. Others things too but I want get into that. I feel like some people just don't believe me because I can walk. Not far maybe 100 yards if I really push hard. Everything I do now takes me forever. I do crappy work now just trying to get something done as quick as I can so I can lay down. I do thank God that I'm still able to walk some now though. He's been good to me. I use to get people come up to me and ask why I didn't just get disability. And this was when I was young and showed no pain. They must've seen it though. I miss work so much. I've always loved it. Nothing like finishing a job, stepping back to look at it and being proud to say , I built that. I still go in places now and see me work. Cabinets still holding up great and look the same as they did when I installed them. Sure miss that feeling of accomplishment. And the company I worked for for 16 years Made me feel needed. I miss that too. They closed down about a year after I left. It was a small company. About twelve people. But it had been in business since before I was born. Sorry this is so long and boring. I know that a lot will skip over this because of the length of it lol. I just needed to get it off my chest.
