Guest guest Posted March 25, 2001 Report Share Posted March 25, 2001 Hi , I am so delighted for you, if I could jump I would be jumping the world record on your behalf. What a relief it is. As I know from last month when Ann and I got our Disability Living allowance. It makes life so much easier in that you can now afford to get the assistive devices needed. Do you get yours backdated to the day of application? We did and I have been looking at cars today and am quite excited. Who knows I may have a car I can drive easily within the next 2 - 3 weeks. I raise my cup of decaffinated tea to you. Congratulations, it is so much easier that you did not have to appeal and go through the stress of the process. Love and Huge HUGS, Lilian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 My mom's medicaid was approved today - YAY! That means she can go out for visits or to get an ice cream, or whatever; this will THRILL her no end. Heck, it thrills ME no end! I'm going to start small, with an ice cream cone outing this evening. Then maybe a ramble around a Dollar Store later this weekend, since shopping has always been important to her...I can give her a $10 bill or something. But I'm planning on the first few outings to be short. I know she'll want to go past her house; I have the $4/gallon for gas and it's too far away (30 miles) excuse, but is one of the reasons I want to keep visits short - " I wish I had more time, mom... " But I am so happy and excited, it's almost as if *I* were the one just handed the keys - lol! I'm celebrating and looking forward to seeing her this evening, she hasn't had an ice cream cone from the Custard Cup yet and it's the best ice cream (well, frozen custard) in town!! This morning she had her piano tuned, Pete went there to pay the man, and she was right there, beaming and happy and excited - and they tell me that normally mornings are her worst times! But these meds, and also I think her on the road to acceptance of her life there, are really turning the tables. And now that she can go on outings, that will help as well. ( did warn me that, once gets out the doors and her new security is gone, she may not have an easy time of it at first.) I'm SO much hoping that she can learn to enjoy her life while she's able, in spite of her illness and living arrangements...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sherry it is wonderful to hear you sounding so excited for your mom. It shows the level of care, love and commitment you have for her.
