Just Life Issues
I got over myself and the fun I had with looking Mr Naughty and his medical record up. Life moves on. I go to the dentist tomorrow so they can give me the bad news as to how much this is going to cost me. God I’m scared to death. I have at least 2 root canals that will also need crowns. I have good dental insurance but when you are talking about an $800 procedure and to finish it is another $800 its still going to be costly. I think one is hopefully consider to be 80% covered and the other 50% x 2 and Just that’s going to be over $1000. Sigh..Then there’s a few cavities or I’m hoping they are cavities and not abscessed so they don’t have to be root canalled also. Oh well we will see what can be done and so forth. I have money right now. I’ve been living like a martyr for years so when I get more that I usually do I have it. Although I did buy myself an ipod . 4th edition 32 bit. I figured I deserved it after my year and all that I do.
After a HORRIBLE start to this year with the whole clinical hell thing and almost .. I wouldn’t say getting kicked out of the program… but almost forced to repeat most of the 2nd year and that would have been disastrous knowing what came about down the line. Having to deal during that or directly after that Dennis’s melt down Psych ward for a week hellish experience. You have no Idea the horror that was. He literally had a melt down ever time I showed up. It was UGLY!!! From that to getting my degree (they fired the Director of the program the day before we graduated.) Yeah like I would have stood a chance after that. Passing the exam to be one and getting a nice paying great benefits job in this economy (no small miracle). On top of that applying for SSI for Dennis and him getting it with no problems. He said it was all me….he really made it easy let me tell you. When one is so miserable that the psychiatrist treating you doesn’t want to see you again its not too hard to get it. Hell even DSS didn’t want to deal with him. I know honestly he’s fine if he doesn’t have to deal with people and at home he’s good. He’s doing right now exactly what he’s capable of. Taking care of his child. Jonathan doesn’t know too many words right now and lets his needs be known in one word. Its as much conversation as he likes. I’m more social sorry. The kicker is…is that he is one of those people that if you meet him seems incredibly outgoing and can extract information out of anyone. I’m more reserved at first till I get to know you. Its after 5-10 minutes he gets bored with you and doesn’t want to talk to you. Why?? He’s testing your intelligence and if its not to his level he’s bored. Anyway it works out. Jonathan usually sleeps 2-3 hours in the afternoon so he has quiet time to himself.
Andrew gets special services too as I got him classified and he will get medicaid from now on along with extra things he gets to do. I was at work the last few days helping people that are in similiar situation as I once was and thought yeah this is what I"m suppose to be doing. I’m still getting use to the whole office thing like you see on TV with the little cubical and so forth..tons of meetings and crap I don’t know totally about. but the talking to people and finding out that I can help them get the stuff they need to make life easier is well…. what I do isn’t it??? I don’t know if I would be as happy here if I didn’t have all that experience or knowledge of SSD,SSI medicaid, medicare, and all the services they provide. I spoke with someone yesterday whom I read what was going on and thought this is a person that needs guidance. Someone to help him through this and guide him in the right direction. I called him and he had just gotten engaged and she was taking over all his health issues. Now that’s one hell of a woman to take that challenge on. He was homeless living in a shelter. Constantly sick because he had bad asthma, had a bunch of metal issues. its more than I could do talking to someone on the phone.
