Social Security Disability Insurance

That is not an easy road, getting approved for SSDI.  I did it, turning in my paperwork in November, and getting approved before the end of January.  WOW!  From what I have been told, that is almost unheard of.  In fact, statistics say I should have been denied at least once, most likely twice, before being approved.  I can't send enough thanks to advocates at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for helping me.  They gave me more paperwork than I ever would have thought wise, let alone necessary, but after three months or more of carefully thinking about, writing out, and gathering information, here I sit with guaranteed income (however small, due to my relative youth) for the rest of my life, or at least as long as I am unable to work!

Well, today my housemate and friend who is somewhat of a caretaker, has told me I am to schedule some kind of exercise every day.  Wii Fit, stationary recumbant bicycle, of walk to the end of our 600+ foot driveway, every day.  I know it is a good assignment, but getting up at 1pm every day to rain makes my comforter look that much more inviting for the rest of the day!  Ok, if and when I do take all my meds, I do feel more like moving.  *sigh*  I guess I will just have to keep up with the meds.  I just hate taking pills, and I have a lot of pills to take!  That reminds me, time for shot... more later. :)
