I found out today from my Social Security disability caseworker that neither my spine orthopedic nor hip orthopedic will co-sign my application.🤬 Guess they don't believe that the continuous stabs of pain & difficulty focusing because of the pain is enough.
Hopefully, all the medical records that she has gathered in addition to my substantial mental health history and cooperation from all the psychs and therapists I've had will be enough to qualify me.
@see_the_sus That sucks. Best of luck getting the care you need.
Thanks ♥️
Now if I could get some home care assistance. i qualified for that last fall and finally had a worker come by, in November, but she quit after three days. My patient care coordinator has been trying to get a new agency but there aren't enough workers.
@see_the_sus @lifeinthePNW this is a serious problem Nationwide. The jobs don't pay enough to live and so competent people have to do something else. I have been trying for a year to get an additional caregiver, without any success.
Yeah, I know and New Mexico has some of the lowest-paying jobs in the country.
I keep reminding myself I've been fortunate to have found an excellent therapist and a good psychiatrist in a state that has a severe deficiency of these services.
