Hi Everyone!! Things have been pretty hectic for me lately. I had gone through a SSD exam with the ssd doc's the first week of May.
I did not do well especially on the eye exam. I was just getting used to wearing my prism and I was having great difficulty. I think that the nurses that were doing this particular exam on me were rolling their eyes at me when I said that I honest to God could not see the board.
When I close my left eye, I fall over... ,my right eye has the optic nerve damage and the sticker prism is in the right lens of my glasses. If I close the left eye with the glasses on, the prisms make it look really foggy and distorted.
Anyway.... I have already been approved for ssd in Feb. 2010. This past exam was for my one yr. review. Unfortunately they denied me to continue my ssd. Can you believe it!!!???? I am in shock!!! The ssd. doc. could not take her eyes off my left hand tremor, but I was still denied.
I immediately went to my social security office and appealed!!!! The ssd. representative that I sat with, was wonderful. He said to me I would never have thought what you have been dealing with or how sick you are by looking at you.
I gave him a copy of "my story". He listened to me, and he was emotional with me. He felt sooo bad for what I have been through.
I just recieved in the mail a letter from the SSD representative. He said that he just finishes reading and absorbing "MY STORY". (which is in my journal). He wishes me the best of luck and will be thinking of me throughout my journey and health issues. He said it was a pleasure meeting me.
That was the nicest letter I have received from a perfect stranger. He showed interest in me and my life. He also said to me that day, that he is going to send in his thoughts about me and what I presented to him to the hearing judge.
So,, what does everybody think?? Could this kinda be in my favor???
Hope everyone is well.
