Fibro Friday: Court Update

Well, I got some great news…..the judge approved my court case.  That means I WOONNNN!!!!!!!  After an almost 2 year long, tiring battle, I finally have justice on my disability case. 

It was a little weird that I first got the call from social security that I had won and even now that I have received the judgment from the judge still haven’t heard from my lawyer.  I’m afraid that it’s because my case wasn’t 100% successful when you look at my case overall.  But for us, any win was a win.  The ideal was for the judge to find me disabled back to 2001.  Unfortunately, the judge only found me disabled back to 2009.  But like I said, for us a win is a win. 

It means a lot to hear someone of huge authority say that yes, I am disabled and that I cannot work in the working world.  It is now officially on paper that I can’t do it.  I do not have enough energy to function in the work place.  I am in too much pain to be able to work.  Overall, I just can’t do it. 

And the first thing I said was waaaa hooo and Praise the Lord!!!!!  It has been 10 years of suffering with FM, but honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing.  This is who God made me to be and I have accepted it.  The Lord is providing a way of easing our financial stress and it takes a huge load off of our chests.  It has been a long time in the making, but I know that it comes perfectly in the Lord’s timing.
