I can't believe that after everything he has been through growing up, his diagnosis, all the documentation, the medications, etc. That they would deny him the first time. That is crazy. I know that they do deny the first time in many cases, it is a given, but not when it is so clear cut. I hope the appeal goes well and the judge has a clue about his illness and also what he recently went through.<br /><br />As for you, I don't know how you do it. You have to be so tired and frustrated. I hope you are taking care of yourself.

I can only begin to imagine how you feel.<br /><br />I totally understand the statement where you said "the only time he felt emotionally "normal" was when he smoked pot". Not personally, but we have bi polar disorder in our family and that one sentence has been said more than once. So we have a lot of not "normal" going on around us since I work for a police department and having weed in my house probably wouldn't go over very well. :)<br /><br />You are like the energizer bunny.....going and going and going....<br /><br />I was happy to read your post today and know that you hadn't dropped off the earth.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09137669188345117749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-6422469508772105222010-03-18T12:37:04.842-06:002010-03-18T12:37:04.842-06:00The whole thing stinks so badly that I can smell i...The whole thing stinks so badly that I can smell it out here.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722567671925063706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21447266.post-44763573760194323402010-03-18T12:15:22.210-06:002010-03-18T12:15:22.210-06:00What a mess!

That should not be a reason for denying him benefits (especially if he isn't using now) Smoking pot does not make you bi-polar....and he certainly wasn't smoking it in kindergarten when he started treatment for his disabilities. To me it looks like the idiots are just trying to find an excuse to deny him benefits. <br /><br />I'm glad your husband found those rabbits.
