I cannot donate any money at the moment to get you over the hump but you are in good hands here on DU. There are wonderful people here that are on your side.

During your 2.5 week recovery time you may have met a counsler/therapist/nurse that you became familiar with and became friendly. These folks see situations so often that they may be a source of good information on how to make all the transitions needed to get you back on track. Reach for them when you can.

Hopefully someone already has began all the paperwork to set you up on disability. Once you get all the paperwork settled and begin recieving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) you will get a retroactive payment dated to when you first became in need. Well, that's how it was in '94. I just suggest that if you aren't aware of the status of the paperwork that you find out and stay on top of it.

Stay strong and pro-active until you get all things in order.

I love you.
