Please pardon me while I hyperventilate

Received today from the Social Security Administration, Office of Disability Adjudication and Review:
NOTICE OF DECISION -- FULLY FAVORABLE

Enclosed is the Administrative Law Judge's decision on your claim. This notice gives you information about what you can do if you disagree with the decision.

Heh. No, I don't think I disagree with this one, thanks.
Another office of the Social Security Administration will process the decision and will send you a notice about your benefits....

You should hear something about this decision within 60 days. If you do not, contact your local Social Security office.

So now I get to wait some more. But this time, it's a much happier wait!

great news! i hope they hustle and beat that 60-day estimate.

I hope so too! Even if I have to wait a little longer, the news is *such* a relief.

Woo!

I hope they get the info to you sooner than 60 days, though.

And also Hoo!

Me too. It's bureaucracy, though, so I know better than to hold my breath.

Yeah, I think I said something like that after I stopped hyperventilating.

Hurrah!

I got mine the first go round, and it was a huge relief. I am glad they finally decided for you.

It *is* a huge relief. I had trouble really believing it till I got a congratulatory phone call from my lawyer.

Glad to hear that.

YES!

I had to keep re-reading the letter all day to make sure I hadn't actually made a mistake. It said the same thing every time I read it--amazing! :-)

Not sure how soon I can get the food & health care straightened out, but am already breathing freer.

Celebrating with you!!

Well, thank all the divine beings you can think of!

Me, I'm gonna thank God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Zeus, Hera, Odin, Sif, the Great Spirit, and Alysson Hannigan.

I apologize if I forgot any.

Whee!

Too bad I haven't had enough energy to try to dance lately. Guess I'll have to let the icon do my bouncing for me. :-)

Here's hoping that your wait is a short one. I seem to remember that it tends to go a little more quickly once you're approved.
