I FILED FOR SOC SEC DISABILITY 2YRS AGO IHAVE PRETTY MUCH LOST EVERY THING. THAT I HAD WORKED SO HARD TO GET. IHAD TO GIVE UP MY 06 TRUCK THAT I HAD BEEN PAYING ON FOR 3YRS.AND SELL EVERY THING ELSE. IVE HAD OF VALUE TO TRY & TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY. IT HAS BEEN ONE LIVING NIGHTMARE. I HAD TO HAVE NECK SURGERY & 2 METAL PLATES PUT IN MY NECK & 8 SCREWS ON THE 6& 7 DISK JUST TO HOLD IT TOGETHER AND I FOUND IN JUNE OF 09 THAT 34& 5 WAS BULGING CAUSEING MY ARMS & HANDS TO GO NUMB MY KIDS CALL ME SNAP CRACKLE & POP. WHEN I MOVE MY ARMS THEY SOUND LIKE CRAKING YOUR FINGERS. IVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE SURGERY ON MY LOWER BACK TWICE. THE PAIN ILIVE IN IS H--L ICATCH CRAMPS INMY LEGS DAILY AND HAVE BACK SPASMS CONSTANTLY. I HAVE TURN DOWN TWICE FOR DISABILITY. ALSO IF I STAND FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME MY LEGS WILL SWELL UP 3 TIMES THERE NORMAL SIZE MY HANDS STAY NUMB OR ARE SO STIFF THAT IT IS HARD TO HOLD ON TO ANYTHING I HAVE TO USE A WALKING CANE TO WALK WITH. I WENT TO MY THIRD APPEALL WHICH WAS AHEARING BY VIDEO. THE JUDGE HAD A VOCATOINAL PERSON TO EVALUATE ME. MY JOB BEFORE I GOT HURT WAS A HVAC MECHANICAL PIPE FITTER WELDER & SHEETMETAL. I MADE A VERY GOOD SALARY AND NEVER MISSED WORK . THE AMOUNT OF DISABILITY WOULD AVERAGE OUT TO ABOUT 2 WKS OF MY SALARY.THE VOCATIONAL REP SAID I COULD BE SECURITY GAURD OR A PARTS ASEMBLER. IF I COULD DO ANY THING . I WOULD GO BACK AND DO MY OLD JOB BUT THE PAIN & SPASMS & CRAMPS KEEP FROM GETTING OUT OF BED SOMEDAYS I HURT SOBAD . IM WAITING ON THE JUDGES DEC BUT MY LAWYER TOLD ME HE WAS THE HARDEST JUDGE TO GET APPROVED BY. IM FACING LOSING MY HOME IF I DONT GET SOME KIND OF INCOME. TO TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAS TO SUFFER THE MOST NO CHRISTMAS THE LAST 2YRS JUST WHAT FREINDS GIVE THEM THE WAY THE ECONOMY IS THAT WASNT MUCH. IM SUPPOSE TO HAVE A DEC BY THE JUDGE BY 1-10-10 BUT IHAVE TO GO TO COURT ABOUT MY HOME ON 1-7 -10 THEY HAVE GIVEN ME THIRTY DAYS ALREADY SOMABE I COULD KEEP MY HOME BUT WHEN IGO TO COURT ON1-7-10 THE LAWYER REPESENTING THE MORTAGE COMP IS GOING HAVE THE JUDGE GIVE SEVEN DAYS TO BE OUT OF MY HOME. THE WORST PART OF IT IS I DONT HAVVE ANY FAMILY TO STAY WITH SO I GEUSS ME& MY KIDS WILL BE HOMELESS THANKS TO OUR GOVERNMENT. BUT IF IWAS A IMIGRANT I COULD GET PLENTY FROM OUR GOV.
