Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 My thanks to Reggie, Jacquie and Nina for your responses, support, and offers of advice-I will definately think of questions I have to ask and send an email if that's ok. I hadn't really considered asking my lawyer (duh!) about the legal issues of state aid, but I think that is something I will try next week when I report back to him after a doctor visit on Monday. It just all kind of floors you and it's hard to see the obvious answers when the panic kicks in. I am also going to try to contact my FIA worker who unfortunately has moved to another office, but was kind enough to leave forwarding info on her machine even though she will no longer be my worker. She was sympathetic to my situation and made me feel like a human being, which as we all know doesn't always happen in government offices. I was stubborn and thought I could live without it with no income-after a few several thousand dollar med/doctor bill months, I found myself there and very ambivalent and defeated-I had been ok without it for 6 of the 9 years I have been divorced and on my own with two kids. She really helped me, so maybe I can ask her advice, as well, if she can give it to me. I really do value this group and the fact that I can look on any digest and see several things that pertain to me and what I am going through in my life-I always think I am the only one becaus I am the only one waiting on disability or dealing with fibro and RA in my life. I have a really hard time gettting to the reading and answering back, so I miss alot of them because it's hard for me to sit for any length of time-sometimes I feel bad about all the backlog. But I know that even if I can't keep up, I can write a post when I need to, or head here for comments on news stories or just the need to know someone else faces the same battles. Thanks, guys! Will try to be on more because I know right now alot of the answers I need are right in front of me.....just ask the experts:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 All of us on disability had to wait, and didn't have enough income to survive. I was fortunate that I could draw unemployment for the 1 1/2 years I had to wait. When I had only $20 left in our pockets, the motorcycle group we belonged to brought food and money collected for us. That was one of the many miracles we were blessed with. There are angels that watch over us and don't let things get too bad, well... , most of the time anyhow. Count your blessings and maybe they will be more than you thought.
