Hello, my name is David. I used to be a supervisor with 7-8 people working
for me in a small factory. I also drove truck coast to coast, have had two
bussiness's of my own, and had (still do) a small poultry farm. I and my wife
raised 8 children (7 girls & 1 boy) and are now grandparents of 14. I guess
you could say I was a success, until now. When my health failed. Working
was so much a part of my life that when I no longer could work I started
feeling useless, used up, worthless. I have had epelepsy all of my adult life
and had worked through that. I lied to many employers and even the U.S.A.
Army National Guard (I have an honourable discharge @ the rank of corporal)
to be able to serve and hide being epeleptic. Then I developed diabetes, high
blood pressure, nervous disorders including tremors, restless leg syndrome,
and sleep disorders. Upon examination the doctors also found 4 separate
tumors, 1 in my brain, 1 in my shoulder, 1 in my liver/spleen/backbone area
and 1 that was cancerous in my right leg, which they removed. They also
found inconsistencies in my colon, benign for now. So is it any wonder that
now they have diagnosed me with Ongoing Depression / Scuicidal tendencies
? I am taking Zoloft for that and a whole slew of other medications for all
the other things. I am not allowed to be without someone watching over
me all of the time, usually a family member. Or at the counseling center.
Sorry I am so long winded, I needed to vent. P.S. I have been DENIED
SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!! I now have
attourneys working to try to obtain some sort of income from social security.:scared15: :scared15: :scared15: :scared15: :scared15: :scared15: :scared15: :scared15:

Hi David,

Welcome to NMP. Many here will understand your how you are feeling and will give you their support. I do not understand why your benefits were denied but do hope your attorney gets to the bottom of it soon. Try and remember that just because you can not work right now it does not mean you are worthless, you are a Grandfather, perhaps you can spend time with your grandchildren!

Take care,

Laura
