What's black and white and red all over?

Dear Friends:

I got the letter from SSDI saying it was partially favorable. This means that Judge Judy the ALJ (administrative law judge) approved my disability, but only from January 29 08 my Fiftieth birthday. My attorney kept pushing for December 04 when I first filed for SSDI.

She was dead set on that, and thats exactly what she did. So now I have to wait until May or June of next year to be eligible for Medicare. I will have to go on Medicaid to help me medically...

Oh don't I just feel crappy

feeds@yuku.com (DFWilliams) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:32:37 GMT

I got the flu, I have a cough, one that is deep in my lungs and nothing seems to help.
I ache all over and then I ache some more. I can't sleep and I can't stay awake. I just plain feel crappy.
My business partner gave me the flu, I think he should take it back.

Ft Hood

Well, things here in Texas aren't so great...... I've been to Ft Hood and it is a HUGE base.
Was surprised to see it was an officer that shot and killed so many. My hubby, a retired AF officer, predicted it would be a Muslim. Sorry, but that is what he said. Don't mean to offend anyone, but he was right. God bless them all.

Heard from C.J.

feeds@yuku.com (Shirley) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:48:44 GMT

I talked with C.J. this morning and she had just gotten home not long before I called.
She is still taking antibiotics for her leg. She say it is better but still not like it should be.
I'm sure when she's feeling better she will let us know how she's doing,

I started Monday with what seemed to be a head cold, but it has gotten worse with congested head and cough. I don't have a temperature and I am pretty sure it is not the flu, but am thinkng it might be another sinus infection. I made an appointment with my family doctor for 3:45 today cause I need to know if it is safe to go ahead with our plans to leave for Florida Saturday to go down and visit my parents. I have found that my proventil inhaler helps with the cough so I am using it 3...

I hit the wall yesterday and had to take a day off of work. It all started Sunday afternoon when I got this blinding headache right behind my right eye. I was just dropping my sister off after a day of Christmas shopping when "bam", it hit. It was so bad it made my right eye close and I couldn't keep it open - and I still had to drive home. Thankfully she doesn't live that far from me. I ended up driving home with my sunglasses on even though it was after 6 p.m. It was...

Interesting day for me yesterday

feeds@yuku.com (Shirley) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:06:34 GMT

Yesterday was very interesting day for me. I went to have my blood work done and the Tech had to stick me 5 times and then had to call in an RN to get any blood. Because of the aspirin I take , every time he would try it caused bleeding under the skin. I looked great with 5 places of blue tape on my arms..They told me I should call my Cardio and tell her, which I did and her reply through her asst was" Oh, she shouldn't be taking take much, so now I'm on baby aspirin of 81mg.

Here's a good laugh for the day...

feeds@yuku.com (tamara2) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:14:17 GMT

I got a phone call this evening from an Army Recruiter wanting to recruit me into the Army... I don't know what list he got my name off from but I told him at this point of my life the Army isn't for me. I have the utmost respect for our military men and women but I don't think I'm Army material. It was a good laugh anyway. Especially when I told my 21 year old son just his reaction was...
