Hi all fellow BI's and Caring Others,

Just to let you know that I've finally been approved for Social Security
Disability.  Had to go to court.  Had a good lawyer.  Through the Disability
Rights Center.  The decision was based upon: Cognitive Disorder, Not
otherwise specified.  I also have Medicaid Insurance so I am receiving
medical care again after having been so rudely interrupted by the insurance
adjuster...

To introduce myself to those who don't know me, I live in New England and I
had an accident where I fell off a porch onto ice two years ago.  I lost
consciousness for a period of time.  I found my friend, Dickibus, on the
internet as I was trying to find answers as to where "I" went and how to get
rid of "her".

Well, it's two years later now.  Battles with insurance carriers, battles
for proper medical diagnosis and care.  Drs., Neurologists, Speech Language
Pathologist and Cognitive Rehabilitation, Orthopedist, Neuropsychologist,
Naturopathic Physician and Chinese Herbalist, Acupuncture, Physical Therapy,
Ear Dr. (can't spell the new name that they now call themselves),
Psychologist, Dermatologist, Ob/Gyn, MRI's, EEG's, various trials of various
drugs...  It's been a long, rough road.

Most importantly, I want to share with you all my appreciation to each and
every one of you who have been here for me.  I was so scared.  And then so
depressed.  You cared and you let me know it.  Strange, just a bunch of
folks who have been bonked on the brain and others who care for loved ones
who have been injured.  And of course, our professionals who have stuck by
us all.  You understood.  You understand.

THANKS!!!
