Strange few days I have had. For starters I finally got the decision. It was like 8 pages, but it was good, sort of. It said I was disabled, so I will be able to get Social Security. I said sort of because I'm now considered disabled to the federal government. I'm not sure how I feel about that. How am I suppose to feel about that? Anyway, I talked to my lawyer's office and they said that I should be hearing by letter from SS 2-4 weeks.
I heard from Ellen's office and they said that my blood tests resulted in showing that my platelets are high. The other thing they told me is that my x-ray showed that I have a large poop backup. They are also concerned that my poop has become light as well. So... They have me on Miralax for 2 weeks, I had a 2nd blood test & an Ultrasound today on my abdomen. The Miralax has just made me gassy, my platelets are still high, just not as much, also my Ultrasound (I am assuming) was fine.
Other than that. I'm okay, sometimes I get bored. Okay, alot of times I get bored. Hopefully that will change when we get the money from SS. We want to replace Garrick's Jeep with a more reliable vehicle & one with better gas mileage. Once we do that, I will have my car all the time. This means I can go to the gym everyday I feel well enough to. Also, I can go visit family (locally). Etc. Etc. Until that, I watch alot of Netflix, Hulu, CBS.com, and listen to alot of pod casts from How Stuff Works.
Anybody out there??
Congrats on getting approved. I hope that will help ease some stress on you two.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the latest health issue. The only knowledge that I can add is that if you have a problem with drinking the powered miralax, it is also made in pill form.
As for being bored, we should make plans to do something. I am severely limited by school and Trevor being well... two. :) If you want a ride to go shopping or wandering Mondays are best. We are also free Wednesday or Friday post-nap afternoons most of the time.
