Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Thank you for the note to Tammy and the reminder, Shirley, it surely helps to be reminded of the way we ought to be acting not just sometimes, but everyday to one another. I didn't realize that Gail had gone so much out of her way and done so much while you were having your surgery/trannsplant. That's pretty impressive for anyone, not to mention someone suffering with their own illnesses. Way to go, Gail, thank you for the example. And thank you too Shirley, also for the example that you set and the hope that you share with each of us on such a regular basis. If I weren't diabetic, I'd have been in line for the surgery a long time ago - but, right now, I just wait with hope that the surgery will become more inclusive or more breakthrough's might become more available for those of us with diabetes, and that it happens before we get any worse... So I wait, and read, and pray, and take great joy when I read about somebody like Tammy or or Amy or or any of the others with courage and the oppo rtunity to take advantage of this life-giving procedure, and I share just a little bit of the joy and excitement that they must feel, and look forward to my turn. I'm pretty certain that it will come in the not-too-distant future. So thanks again, Shirley, and Tammy, all the success in the world to both you and your father, I keep him in my prayers as well, for he too is one of the " groundbreakers " for all his efforts in this difficult battle. Safe travels to you and God bless. Peace & Love, Terry in KC PS... I have a family member getting married in Vail, CO next week, so I'll be taking on a ten-hour drive with my partner... And I'm really hoping that it doesn't become a twenty-hour drive, if ya' know what I mean... So any good vibes you can send this way are appreciated. PPS... I had a rather large sum of money (to me, anyway) automatically deposited into my checking account last week, so it looks like after only two years and no court time, I've officially been " awarded " SSDI benefits... Thank you to all the folks on this list for their many suggestions on how to do it " well " and " right " and " avoid having to go through it a second time " ... For whichever reason(s), your suggestions worked, and I am enormously grateful. Thank you very much. It's not enough to get me out of debt, but it is certainly welcome, and will keep change in my pocket for at least a little while - and while I'm angry at having to scrape and beg (so I have issues) - I truly am thankful for every penny.

Hey Terry: I am so happy to learn that you got the award. And I'm especially happy that you did not have to retain an attorney to whom a substantial chuck of that money would have gone. -Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Terry - way to go!!!! I am so happy to hear that you got good news from SSDI and even better got the money without a long, long, long, (add like 30 more longs - I am tired of typing already) wait for them to get that part of granting benefits done. XXXXX - that's me turning cartwheels in celebration (even though I can't do them in real life). When are you headed for Vail - I have to go to Montrose on Friday so if you are going to be in Vail on Saturday or Sunday I might be able to meet up with you and your partner on my way through or back (to and fro, however your supposed to say it).
