I'm stressin!!

....And probably don't need to be. I recently contacted a lawyer to help me with social security disability because I just don't know what else to do. I can't hold down a job because the pain in my legs and feet are just too much to bear. It doesn't matter if I'm standing or sitting for too long.....the pain just won't stop. I go March 31st to see my PCP and discuss getting the ball rolling for me to have the surgery. I just don't see any other way to get my life back to normal. I've had alot of emotionally and mentally stressful things happen in the past 3 years that has lead to my immense weight gain. I used to love to exercise but now the pain keeps me at bay. The reason I am so stressed is I'm afraid of the days ahead. I only have medicaid and I've heard so many stories of how picky they are. Please feel free to share your experiences. Thanks.

I have nothing helpful to say so Im just going to send you my prayers and good thoughts and all the Cyber Hugging the computer will let me send... (((HUGGS))) Dori

Melinda, I don't know anything about medicaid, so no comment there. I will put you on the prayer list about this all. You take care and the very best wishes are sent your way. I know that the surgery has helped the pain in my legs a great deal. I still have some but not like I used to. I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse and before surgery was afraid that I was going to be wheel chair bound if I didn't do something. It was not the only problem that I had, there were other reasons also, but the surgery has really helped my old legs alot. Take care and keep us updated. Brenda
