Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 {{{BIG HUGS}}} Coming your way Sandi. It just seems so sad that this is how our system works. I keep praying that one day someone will figure out a way to undo all these unjust ways of dealing with health issues. The only way I can make sense out of all of it is that the people who made these rules and laws have never dealt with a illness that has kept them or a family member from living a normal healthy life. Have you spoke to your local congressman?? Maybe there is some resources in your area that haven't been tapped?? Please know our prayers are with you and .~MG and Zachary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Sandi, I was so disappointed to hear about this. I know how much you need the income. I had a brainstorm & it may not help you today, but it could soon. . .call your intake person back & ask when the income scale is adjusted for either cost of living or a new federal poverty level guideline. This scale is almost always adjusted on a yearly basis. I can't remember off-hand what fiscal year the feds are on in these terms, but the woman at SSI should be able to tell you. Then, cross your fingers that you don't get an increase in disability at the same time. I'll be praying for you!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Dear Sandy, I am so sorry that SSI did not work out. I know that expenses are high when you have a chronic illness and the often times the government doesn't factor in the need for non prescription medications, special foods, and other environmental equipment such as air conditioners and/or HEPA filters. Not to mention the fact that can't go to school so you must want to do something special for him to make up for that. It sounded like the paperwork aspect of the application and appeal was a nightmare too. I know that here in Massachusetts we have a disability advocate center which has lawyers and paralegals on staff to help advocate for people with disabilities. I don't know if you have already approached a similar organization in your state but if you haven't it might be worth a try. --Martha (mom to Chrissy IgA deficiency etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Sandi: I'm so sorry to hear about the SSI. $60 over the limit? Jeez, I know they have to draw the line somewhere but that seems like such a shame to get so close. (mom to , age 3.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Sandi, I was sorry to hear about 's SSI. Did you consult with a lawyer? Just wondered, seems to me that there has to be a loop hole somewhere! Bummer is right. Diane, mom to Kody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi I didn't know there was a good local, natural healthful restaurant in town! Which ones are the other good spots in town? Thanks! BUMMER Chet's Taverna is no more. Closed. Fini. Nada. What a shame. I'm hoping Chef Mike will resurface somewhere else in the Twin Cities where he can spread his knowledge of local, sustainable, natural and healthful foods to the community. We sure lost one of the few gems we have. Meanwhile let's all do our best to patronize and generously support the other good spots in town. Otherwise it's Applebee's uber alles.

I am all for airbrushing at my age. No I think they only do that stuff for important people. Takes time and money and they are not going to do it for me. Besides the swelling is pretty bad so it would be really hardto fix that also. But hey just that they were interested makes me happy. Guess GOd has another plan!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Okay guys I get to share exciting news and bummer news. The exciting news is that as magazine I read called MORE for women over 40 had a contest looking for the " Gamma Woman " A woman of today I think! ANyway you had to tell them why you were a Gamma women and send a photo in. I made it to the semi finals went to the city and had a photo shoot and interview. Got a call last Thursday that they wanted me to be a " Gamma Woman " I was to go in this thursday for my " shoot " into Manhatten. I was so excited because I talked about raising special needs kids and the state of SPED in this country. I got the call thursday morning. Thursday night my mother wanted something out of my high cabinet in the kitchen and I climbed up to get it and someone had turned the ceiling fan on behind me and,,,,whack I got whacked in the face and the fan sliced through my upper lip. I spent the evening at the ER with a plastic surgeon. Needless to say I won't be doing the photo shoot on Thursday but I just wanted to share my good news with someone. I was gonna wait til after it was done and hope that it would be a tribute to us " special " mothers everywhere. I have since written a letter to the editor in hopes that maybe she will pick up the interest and write an article (a girl can dream can't she) on what we go through. So if any of you see the " Gamma Women " campaign...know that I almost got to represent us all! Loree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Oh, Loree.. I'm sorry you got injured! Hope it heals fast. And congratulations on the Gamma Woman!! That is so impressive! Can't they do a photo shoot of just one side of your face? Or..the back side or... something? Hey.. how about Airbrushing??? Well, congrats anyway!!!
