Got my disability determination letter from SSA the other day [View all]

Denied

They didn't even talk to my Neurosurgeon

I am going to appeal after my surgery ... which hopefully will be on April 5. This will be the second time that it has been put off. I have an echocardiogram next Friday.

Have had to make trips back and forth to Ft. Worth (about 70 miles - one way) gas is getting pricey Fortunately I have had some response to my go fund me

When I am on the mend, My wife will go in for her surgery. She has already been cleared for surgery, but you Neurosurgeon sai that mine is more critical than hers as a fall might tear the spinal cord (or worse.)
Which could be problematic ... in the event I ever want to move my arms and legs again ...

but on the bright side:

Trumpty Dumpty had a big fall
and al King Ryan's horses
and all Tsar Putin's men
couldn't put Trumpty Dumpty together again. SAD!
