Money
Thursday, September 7th, 2006
I'm sitting here staring at the screenm not knowing what to write. I just don't have very much to say. It comes from not doing anything every day.
I filed for disability via the Social Security. I was turned down. They said I wasn't sick enough. So, I got an attorney and filed an appeal. That was September of '05. Just last month they finally responded. I resubmitted a bunch of forms and am now awaiting the next step. I think it's going to be an evaluation with one of the their shrinks. I'm just not sure this is going to work. I was told that based on my earnings over the years I would be eligible to receive around $1500 a month. If I remember correctly, $500 of that would be going to Dante, as my dependant. Or, maybe it was $1500 for me, and an additional $500 for Dante. I don't know. I don't care. It's not really about the money. I have no use for it. Granted, it would make my life a whole lot easier, but that's not what this is about. All right, so maybe it is about the money. I have things I want to do, and they cost money. I want to get my own psychologist, in addition to the VA. I need to see a dentist, get my teeth cleaned. I want to be able to help out around the house, buy groceries, whatever.
Did I mention that my diagnosis was changed? I'm no longer bi-polar. I can't remember what I am, but it's not bi-polar. I'm glad. I've never had any real manic symptoms. Okay, I have had the occasional day when I'm feeling kinda good, but not manic. I get to see my VA shrink tomorrow. I'll write down what my new diagnosis is.
