Goats are the best! My friend has 3 or 4 but Pearl has the best

personality. Very cute picture and I could not help but notice your leg on

a pillow just how I lay. This is you right? ..lol... The leg is my clue.

How sweet.

Felice,

Thanks for sharing pictures of your cats. I love cats. I have two, Cody

and . Cody is allowed to go outside but we won't let out.

He's only 6 months old. Poor Cody has gotten hurt in fights and ended up

at the vets 3 times last summer. We tried to keep him in but it doesn't

work. He's too used to going out. I'll try and scan a picture of them for

you.

Hugs, Tracey

,

Love to see kitty pictures.

I am so glad I live at the end of a street. 1 1/2 miles to the end of this

road and it is dirt. No houses close by and hardly ever see strange cats.

My cats aren't really fighters anyway. Except Hopeless who picks on strange

dogs but leaves cats alone! Here's a picture of Suzy Q.

Hi,

it's so great to have everybody who knows. I look forward to talking with

everybody everyday and listening to everyone else. Here I can complain about

the purple feet and listen to people who hurt to walk. I am most appreciative

to finding this place!!!!

Hi Kim,

That's awful. I wish there was something I

could do for you. I do understand alot of

what you are going through. It's sooo hard.

But hang tough, there are people who care

and believe you.

Take good care,

Hi ,

I'm Judy, and live by Seattle. Yeah, another

West Coaster! I think you're the third. The

West is the best - just an opinion, now!

I've had RSD from a R ankle fx in 7/96. It's

now spreading to the left ankle and R arm.

I've been on SSD for 3.5 years and just sent

in my paperwork on my first review.

I did not apply for SSD until close to 1 yr after

my injury. Five months after my injury, I returned to work ( as an RN )

and lasted about 2 months.

I was approved first time. SSD allows you a

certain amount of time for a " trial period " for

people to return to work, though I don't recall

how long. Payments start 5 months after your

date of injury and are retro-active.

I didn't know I was approved, and went to the

bank to close my account and join my spouse's

credit union from work (Boeing). I didn't have

much in there and told them I wanted cash. I

didn't know why the commotion. Turns out SSD

had direct deposited my retroactive $ to the

tune of almost $7,ooo.oo much to my surprise.

So, I think you should have a pretty good chance of approval. You are

lucky enough to

also have a knowledgeable doc, and having

to use SCS & MS pump for pain control should

be more than enough proof of your disability.

I wish you the best of luck!

Take care,

Judy

Dear cynthia,

I LMAO when i read this post. This is the second time today that i posted

to the same person cz i didn't read all the posts before i responded. The

other reason i laughed so hard was because my dr said the exact same thing to

me. " Your one sick puppy. " LOL> they must have went to the same medical

school.!!!!!!!

I'm not sure about the implants and the mri. I can tell you this

though, when i had the mri's done, i have my moms wedding ring (my mom passed

away 3 years ago) on at all times, i don't know if i could even get it off.

when i was in the mri machine, even though they were doing my knee, everytime

the machine took a pic, my ring felt like it was clicking on my finger. I

don't know if i broke the machine with the ring, but it was definatly a weird

feeling. Make absoulte sure you tell them you have implants. They will ask

anyway, you'll have to fill out a form before hand, but remind the tech thats

doing the mri, and if you feel a clicking, it didn't do any damage to my

finger, no blisters, pain, or anything, just a weird clicking when the pics

were being taken. Thanks for the laugh about the puppy. I forgot all about

that till i read your post. You really put a big smile on my face. I love

you.
