1yr SURGIVERSARY!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

 Congratulations.  You're journey would give me pause just in coming off of disability and losing Medicare.  I hope you were able to get other insurance.  I worked for SSA about 30 years ago and I'm sure that a lot has changed but that trial work period always seemed a bit odd.  They wanted you to go back to work but didn't provide incentives for working.

I sometimes sool myself into thinking that my own disability is physical, but I have been assured by my shrinks and therapists over the years that I get my disability due to my mental problem.  But, the physical side just gets worse.  My perception of reality is often wrong.

You are an inspiration to me Jeff!! 

Jeff,

You've been a real inspiration in the last year. You've really turned things around in your life. Many times when I've been discouraged your posts have helped me realize I need to expand my horizons, get off my butt, and get on with my life.

Thanks for your contributions.

Keep up the good work!

Jeff, that is fantastic. I've been "offline" for a while - very busy with my new active lifestyle - and forgot to even post about my own 1year surgiversary. You have been a great inspiration to me, and I'm in absolute awe at what you've accomplished. Congratulations - it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy!

Jim
