The Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh Away

Great news! I had my hearing for my social security disability benefits last Thursday and the judge approved me then and there. My euphoria lasted 5 minutes however, when my attorney told me that I was now going to be ineligible for Medicaid in the category I am in, unless I can get in under another category. I will have to wait two years for Medicare! I could potentially be without insurance for that long! What is wrong with this system??!!

Ripe for a Fall

Ah, the delusion of thinking you can do without...holding onto the doorjamb while stepping down into my garage. My hands were full, I was in a rush. I decided that instead of shifting my load in order to hold on to the doorjamb I stupidly decided to lean just my shoulder into the doorjamb. And, BANG!! Of course I fell, right onto my bad shoulder. I then proceeded to do a lot of driving that day. Thank God, I have not suffered any long lasting effects of that. Oh the need to be in denial about what I can do and what I can't do! As they say in AA:"It's progress, not perfection". I can now ask for help or stop doing things that I know will end up in injury...just not this time!
