Hi Kathy,

I just had to write in to congratulate you on your SSD hearing victory! It took

me 2 1/2 years and I know how you were feeling when you went into the chambers.

I was so intimidated even though there were only the 3 people there......just

something about that Judge sitting behind that raised bench looking down on us!

I am so happy for you. I think SS is so awful that they make us go through what

we do and have to drag it all the way to court. If they would just meet with us

themselves instead of just having a bunch of paper pushers somewhere stamping

everything " Denied " it would save a lot of trouble and probably money for the

government. But you made it and you don't have to worry any more.

I have yet to hear anything more from my daughter today. So I don't know how

things are going down in Beaumont. I know this group is about us and our back

problems and stimulators/pain pumps, so I'm going to try to wait until I know

what is going to happen before I update again.

I just had to congratulate you, because I can remember my case. I did the same

thing you did, when I walked out I asked my attorney " What just happened " and

received the same response. What a wonderful feeling. You made it and now you

can concentrate on your health, family, without this hanging over your head.

You go girl!!!!

Take Care,

B. in TEXAS

Hello All,

I finally have some good news to report for once. First

I don't know how many of you know but I have been fighting Social

Security now for 3 years to get disability and I have been denied

over and over again till I finally had to get a lawyer. Well on

December 22 I went to court to have my case go before the judge. I

was so scared first when we got there the judge that was doing my

case was running late then they told he was not going to be there at

all, so I would be seeing the top judge that sees over all the other

judges so now I was really really scared. My lawyer and I go into the

room and there were 3 people in the room the judge a lady that types

everything out and some kind of Job evaluation guy from there

department. We sat down and the judge asked the Job Evaluation guy to

leave he said he did not need him, and then he asked me my name,

birth date and address. Then he asked my lawyer if she was ok with

some coded that were for how to evaluate my spinal injury and then

asked if she was ok with the date of November 2005 she said yes and

he said Thank You have Good a day. I said Thank You back and he said

there is know reason to thank me this is my job, I told him Merry

Christmas and he said Thank You no really Thank You Merry Christmas

to you too. As my lawyer and I were walking out I asked her what the

hell just happened in there she said you won your case. She said the

judge looked over your file and knew there was nothing to ask so he

just approved it right away. I felt light a 100 lb weight had been

lifted off my shoulders after 3 long years of fighting I have finally

got what is due to me, I just sat down in the chair and cried. Now I

just have to wait for all the paper work and stuff to come through

and I will be set.

And the other good news is my Family doctor has finally

released me in good health to have to have my Pain Pump put in, So I

will be going in on January 14 as an out patient I am so excited to

finally get some pain relief and get off some of these pills that do

nothing but make me sleep all the time. I just wanted to share my

good news with all of you my extended family. Thank You for always

being there for me.
