I guess I never thought to ask, does Monty collect any kind of disability?

he's applied for it.

he's applied for it.

If experience around here is any guide, it will take two years to get first denial, short of being comatose on a guerney in the hearing. Be sure he appeals - only way it will be granted.

I was lucky, two months after applying, i began receiving disability.

I am so very happy for you

If anyone deserves disability you sure are.

But little does the people who approve you really know just how disable you are.

Well, tomorrow I have my appointment to see my family doctor. The topics to be discussed are (1) renewing my medications (2) my frequent dizzy spells of late (3) my frequent headaches.

The fun part is the walking. The bus drops me off within a mile of the clinic leaving me to have a nice leisure walk there. It's pleasant if it's not raining.

I'll let you all now if my doc has any commentary about my condition.

Hopefully, he won't say I'm starting to look as old and as senile as River - heh heh

The doc said my heart and lungs were good. My weight was 218 but I am 6' 2".

My BP was 140/80

They have schedueled me for several obscure tests;

CBC lavender

hemoglobin A1C

GTT (gray)

Microalbumin

Thyroid

Lipid panel

Panel 14 cmp

It all Greek to moi

When I applied I was in such bad shape, I went to the Social Security office and had them fill out the forms, I got it a month later. That is the ticket, have them fill out the damn forms as they are the only ones that know what they want.
