Well, aren't I special?

After nearly a week of ever-increasing misery, I got in to see Dr. Petty today. For the sixth time, I've been diagnosed with pneumonia. Oh, happy day.

On a brighter note, we discussed the job/disability situation. That's getting fixed.

I feel like a small elephant is sitting on my chest.

Been there, done that, no fun the sixth time any more than it was the first five. Get well.

I hope "fixing the job/disability situation" means your doctor(s) and/or lawyer(s) finally thinks you have a shot at getting disability? How many times have you tried?

I'll be sending lots of good thoughts your way. Take care of yourself.

*Gentle hugs*

I've been getting both California EED disability and SS payments.

Has the story of what happened. Short form, EDD is staffed by morons. I told Petty that me getting an office job is at least four classes away. I'm typing this with two fingers, and haven't even opened half of the Windows Office stuff. I'm waiting on paperwork from the SSA to increase my benefit amount with them. They normally pay 80% of your final pay, less any benefits received from another source. Since the other source is gone, I need to let them know and my doctor to back me on it.

Since I got pneumonia the first freaking time I ventured out to have an interview, I think I've got that support.

Please take good care of yourself and don't take it for granted. There are a lot of us who would miss you.

Nonsense, you wouldn't miss me! I know for a fact you're an excellent shot.

Which exactly why you would never give me a chance to take one . . . seriously, get well soon.

At least it's only a *small* elephant. :)

Personally, even after taking typing in college, I still only use about 4 finger...

Any chance of using the penguins

to scare off the elephants?

I hope your pneumonia goes away as quickly as possible.

Glad the disability fuck up is being fixed.
