Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi all, I have not posted for a long time. I have been through a lot including a very bad divorce. My husband just could not deal with my disability, he said that I was faking it, gee, that is the same thing my first ex-husband said. I don't know why people can be so cruel. But, that is not the reason why I'm on today, I received some good news!!! Finally, after over 2 years of surgery and menengitis and waiting and homeless for the last year...you have been there, I don't have to tell ANYONE here about what we go through! Ok, finally the good news. I had my hearing for social security disability today and I was APPROVED! I have no idea when I will get my benifits but I got so emotional that the judge asked me if I wanted to go home because I just could not fight the tears anymore. Now the BIG thing: He had a medical expert there that strongly suggested to the judge that the social security administration include Chiari Malformation and Tethered Cord be added to the list of criteria for disability and the judge AGREED. To tell the truth, I do not know if the judge has that kind of pull to get the list ammended but if a judge can't do it, then I don't know who can. If this has brought hope to at least one person, then I'm glad I took the time to write it! Oh, and I am so sorry but my spelling sux! LOL Love to all!!! #8 CM1 Spina Bifida Occulta OTFT Pars Defect West Palm Beach, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
