,

actually, there may be more forms, I won't know till Social Security

sends them. I'm eligible for SSDI, I know that already. I've been

through two stages to get this, the initial claim and an appeal and both

were denied stating that everrything is controlled by meds, so I should

be able to work a sendentary job, completely ignoring the fact that the

meds are part of the problem. So, I am now waiting for a Trial Hearing

with a judge to get my insurance. That can take up to 5 months to get.

And if they deny that, I have to start the whole process over again.

I'm also applying for Long Term Disability through Metlife since I had

the insurance through the company I worked with. This is to supplement

what SSDI will give me if I ever manage to get it.

I am so sorry your pain is worse, but at least you have a doctor that is

willing to treat you with pain medications. I know they are scary, but

the pain is bad enough to need them. I hope you are alright until they

pull the stent on Monday. Please let us know how you do afterwards. I

hope you have a good Thanskgiving without too much pain. Don't eat too

much that can make the pain worse. Anytime you need to talk or feel

that depression that we are all prone too, feel free to write me or, if

you have any of these three free instant messengers, (I have Yahoo, AOL

and MSN), I'll forward you my screen name for all three and then you

can catch me online and we can chat sometime.
