Ed,

Glad to hear some good karma is coming your way.  Prayers for you from here.  We really appreciate you keeping us up to date on what is going on in your life.

Hey Ed,
Were you aware that they turn down SSDI the first submission on just about everyone that applies for it? Having an experienced person to lead you through the process is comforting. I have heard anecdotal stories that if you submit again, with or without help, they will approve it. I've never seen any proof of that. My father-in-law had a stroke so they approved him first time. His daughter had to appeal and used a firm to help with the appeal. I don't know how much that cost her.

My point is... you will be approved, don't worry.

Mark S.; Was aware of it and wanted to see what would happen before I hired the social security advocate. You have to get a denial first before you can get an advocate or attorney. This man has 35 yrs experience with them and also is involved with the rehabilitation of the disabled.
My biggest concern was getting into the VA health care system and i now have an appt. for a primary Dr. on May 9th where I will ask for a referral to a cardiologist to get the echocardiogram done on my heart. It would be a relief to know how much of the damaged heart muscle may have recovered. Take some of the concern off my mind and also inform me if I need further treatments.
This Monday I will do my initial application for early SS, then hopefully in August will get some income coming in!

Thank you and everyone for responding as it sure has made this less stressful!!!

Glad to hear that all of your waiting and patience is paying off finally. Keep the chin up high and the spirits even higher.

 

 

 

Received my Medical records Friday the 19th. The VA emergency Dept. DR. has put in a request. In the next two months I am suppose to be scheduled into cardiology dept. ischemia evaluation; not getting enough oxygenated blood flow. Left heart bundle branch blockage for evaluation of bi-ventricular pacemaker/implantable cardio-defibrillator. Dr. ordered an EKG; chest x-ray; Echocardiogram; blood chemistry profile; and test for arterial filibration.
I don't care what tests I'm put through; just want my energy to improve and my heart pain to subside. I would like to be able to get back to workcamping and take care of my maintenance and upkeep of my motorhome. I'm trying I really am; but when the fatigue and heart pain start in; it makes me feel nauseated; causes body pain and sometimes stops me in my tracks.
Tomorrow is the day I put in my application for the early SS. I have waited patiently and the last few months seemed like forever with the winter being damp cold and windy.

Cheryl: I guess I can say my health care from the VA is free; but only because my income since the heart attack has been little; then to nothing. I've spent most of my savings and I will say it has added stress that I don't need. It has taken me since October to finally get a primary doctor Appt. for May 9th.

Everyone: I am still praying that they find something and can fix; patch; repair what is needed so I can finish out my time on earth living fairly healthy, physically; mentally and spiritually. I believe that it what we all want.

Pieere,

We will continue to keep you on our prayer list for a full recovery and getting back to a normal life. Keep the Faith and jsut take one day at a time, things will get better. Just keep thinking positive things!
