What's up with all the Paperwork??

Ok, so just yesterday I got a phone call from my long term disability claims rep.  He says my claim has been closed because some people I have never met looked at a report written by a guy who spent three hours with me one day, and they have decided I could, in fact, work at least part time at a sedentary job.  Well, I don't know about you folks, but sitting around on my rear end all day makes my rear end excruciatingly painful, and makes my legs jump like Mexican Jumping Beans.  Also, as you can see by my blog, I can't even do computer "work" like writing a blog every day.  Some days and some weeks are better than others, of course, but MS is not, by definition, a constant!  Especially when one has a worsening form of it.  Even relapsing-remitting (R/R) is defined by more relapsing and less remitting over time.  


So now that I have finished with months of paperwork to show Social Security I can't do months of paperwork, I have to start all over by appealing the long term disability claims-people's decision that I am, in fact, capable of work!  It seems this is very similar to trying to get a loan.  The best way to get a loan is to prove you don't need it, and if you can't show that you have enough money to "cover" the loan, they won't give you the loan!


Ok, so I have been sitting here for a little while now, and my derriere is starting to hurt, so I must get up on my wobbly legs and head for bed before my legs start jogging to China without me.  I hope all is well out there...


Good night.
