Leave it to the government to ruin my special day!!
I was having such a great day for my birthday yesterday. My family and friends were very thorough in wishing me a great day. THEN, the mail runs. 2 letters from the Social Security Administration. I had 2 applications in, one for Supplemental Security income and the other for Basic SSI disability. The letters were my determination letters. They found I am not eligible for disability. I can still work, though not in my current profession. (I have been an office professional since 2002). What is less strenuous or less stressful than an office desk job?
One of my doctors said I would have to be able to raise my legs above my head for several hours of an 8 hour shift. The only job I can think of that would allow that is prostitution and I’m not really built right for that type of job.
I contacted my attorney’s office and they said they would start an immediate appeal. They said the appeal should take 2 to 5 months (the first decision was suppose to come through in 3 to 6 months, and it took 10 months!!) I’m praying that this goes quickly and that I get approved. Prayers from my friends would be so much appreciated. God Bless all!
My surgeon is sending me for another test for my neck and middle back (cervical and thoracic). Since I can’t have MRIs anymore, this is a CTscan with dye injected. The doctor said the dye would be injected into the back and set me up for having it done while sedated. The hospital said the test is done with the dye going through an IV, and I won’t need sedation, but I’m worried I will get there and find out that they were wrong. I can’t do needles to my body (except through an IV).
I am also being referred to a general surgeon...the lump in my abdomen is being called an “encapsulated tumor”, cancer free, but it still causes me troubles by making me throwup when it gets aggravated. They are saying they plan to set me up for surgery to remove it.
That’s all I can think of for now...thank you for continued prayer.
Sorry about the SSA findings but happy belated birthday! Why can’t you do MRIs anymore?
Good luck
BTTT
Try to keep the faith that things will improve for you in a number of areas in due time.
Gracious. What a mess! Continuing prayers.
Father God,
In the name of JESUS we speak to infirmity in Trussell’s body. Your days are through. We speak life to every muscle, every nerve, every bone, every cell through the resurrection power of Jesus that is within us through Holy Spirit. Be made whole by the blood of Jesus Christ that breaks every stronghold.
We stand upon Your promises, Father God. Nothing is impossible for You. Jesus has won the victory over death, over illness, over everything that concerns us. He perfects what concerns us.
We stand in agreement for a creative miracle for Trussell. Father God, astound the doctors, the government officials. Jesus is the Great Physician, our Healer and Deliverer.
Father God, may Your will be done in Trussell’s body. We thank You for the testimony she has through Christ Jesus. We thank You that You are the Strong Tower we can run to. We thank You that through Jesus stripes we were healed. We thank you that JESUS gives the victory.
In His precious name we pray. Amen.
Man! Just when you thought stuff couldn’t get more complicated!
Well, happy belated birthday to you...
I’m glad there is nothing cancerous; thankfully you can cure throwing up, but cancer is something massively different.
Lord Jesus, we pray for relief from suffering and for the provision of daily needs of Thy servant.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Well, Happy Birthday despite all the challenges and pains. Prayers continue...
I am sorry that you were turned down for disability. If anybody deserves it, it would seem to be you. I run into to many people that get disability that don’t deserve it. With that being said, it’s seems people that get SSI or disability always seem to have to appeal once or twice.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Depending on the area of the country you are in, Disability is a long process. UNLESS you claim INSANITY, or drug abuse.
Every one is denied first try. Even a man on a Heart Transplant list had to fight 4 yrs for disability while waiting for the transplant. Church kept his family afloat.
You might be looking at a 4 year process.

Keeping you on my prayer list every day, T. Keeping your sense of humor is a plus (LOL Don’t I *know* what you mean! WTH? Think you might oughta change that guy out for one who’s a little more...eeGAD- what’s the word?).
You sound GOOD! Hold that thought & hang in there.
Hope all goes well.
Happy Birthday.
