Good news!

I just saved a bunch of money on my car ins...
Wait, that can't be right. I don't even have a car.

Oh, now I remember: The judge who decided I was ineligible for money from Social Security has been officially declared to be a poopyhead. This does not mean I will be getting money. What it does mean is that someone at SS needs to look at my case again and make a decision based in reality. I'm too tired to parse all the legalese, but it looks like the court wondered the same thing any other sane person wondered: Why the heck did the judge ignore the evidence from two doctors who have seen me for extended periods of time while giving great weight to the opinion of a quack an esteemed physician who saw me only once (and, as I recall, had no clue what fibromyalgia was and had an office which makes this house full of grad students look clean by comparison)?

So anyway, I still have no money, but at least one thing has gone my way.

Yay!! That is good news!

Yep! It was nice to open up a packet from my lawyer today and see the word "Congratulations!" first thing.

Need more sleep. Command of English language going downhill fast.

[darth-spacey.livejournal.com]

I saw no grammar problems there at all.

Congratulations, btw! I'll keep praying, vibing, and so on.

I was too sleepy to know if I was making sense or not. Which I figured was a clue to stop typing for a while. :-)

i'm glad that judge is at last revealed as the poopyhead he always was. i hope the next one is a brilliant and insightful legal mind. or at least competent.

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Me too!

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

Wow, finally some good news.

Are they going to let you horse whip the judge? Only seems fair in my mind.

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'm allowed to horse whip the judge. Am just hoping my case gets decided in my favor this time. I'm really tired of this process.

[occipitaldruid.livejournal.com]

yay for things getting better!!

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

At least one thing going my way! Here's hoping this is a trend.

[occipitaldruid.livejournal.com]

*grin* Trends of this nature are always welcome. :)

Finally! May this be the beginning of a whirlwind turn around for you!

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I certainly hope so.

Wow I'm glad you'll have another chance to demonstrate why you should be eligible to collect social security. It scares me that applying for money when you are disabled and can't work is such an arduous process. Since you can't earn a living and so far haven't been able to collect needed benefits from the government, how have you been surviving in the meantime?

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure that there will be a chance for *me* to demonstrate anything now. I think they just need to have someone looking at the evidence already presented again. Could be wrong--will call my lawyer tomorrow or Tuesday to find out more.

Since you can't earn a living and so far haven't been able to collect needed benefits from the government, how have you been surviving in the meantime?

For a while, I was getting some benefits (*small* amount of cash) from the state. Lost that late last year and haven't found a way to get that back yet, so I've been surviving on charity & gifts from friends.

*hugs* I'm so sorry... that sounds like a really hard way to live.

Sorry the anon post was me

Lucky Vibes, with hearts, diamonds, and four-leaf clovers!

Crossing my fingers that you are on a roll now- that more and more will go your way from here on in.
