Drum roll if you please...I'VE BEEN APPROVED....

Hi now that I got your attention. We aren't talking about the surgery. I just received notice today that I have been approved for my service disability. I am now a bonified Disabled American Veteran. Yes, friends, I served in the USN during the Vietnam Era. I have been fighting for 7 years for my service connection. I have appealed, deny, appealed, deny, this went on for 7 years, now I will be getting disability check from the Government. I still have to appeal for the mental disorder that I was diagnosed with while active duty. They still keep denying me, but I keep fighting them. Just like I am fighting to have this surgery. It's a dream that I won't give up, then when I finally have it done, I can't wait to go to those Dr.'s who wouldn't do my surgery because of a psych who thinks after 20 minutes that he knows me and says I am not a good candidate, or that I am unstable. I'll show them who's stable and who isn't. If I can win approvel over the Veterans Appeal Dept. and their constant denials, then getting approved for this surgery is minor. I'm only 51, so if it takes me 7 years to get this surgery, then fine. I won't go down without a fight. Enough said about that. Yeah Baby, I beat the government. LOL The is going to
