I know I said I would not grace rendo with my presence, but Scooby37 let me play with his Fae Armour. If anyone is interested. I have won art contests every month since I left. Yip-Pee! I should be getting word on my SS claim and Ins disability appeal. My health has been going downhill. the latest is I will be having 2 surgerys one roto-rooter and one hernia repair. Social Security had me examined then a month later had me examined again. My wife convicned my doctor to have me see a nuro-pych as she say I am forgeting things. Anyway i had a interview and he asked a lot of the same questions as the SS doctor asked. Anyway I must of flunked and I now have taken a 4 hr test which again asked a lot of the same questions. I told the lady giving me the test that this was the 4th time I had been asked to remember tthe exact same words. She left me to talk to the doctor and came back with new words. Will find next week waht the verdict is. I think I flunked. My back continues to pain me every day. I now am taking a synthetic opiate along with the hydrocodone. My heart is good right now. I have a very bad palsey which I think is related to a drug(s) side effect. My pulmonollogist asked me about my copd and I inforem him my back stops me before I get totally out of breath. he tld me if I ever got my back pain under control he would recommend a doulble thoricotomy. I have no idea how taking my lungs out would help me. I do not think we will be seeing him again. he has me on sporiva which I told him is not doing anything as far as i could tell.
