Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75668073 United States 10/04/2018 11:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So comments are back on - was afraid it had been closed somehow. Quoting: Kamchatka Since GLP and a couple of other forums ARE my social media, the only thing I could do was give a little bit as an anonymous. Kind of odd to be an AC, eh... Praying for you! Thank you very much Kamchatka (my favorite volcano in the world by the way, I'm a big fan of them!), GLP and twatter have kept me sane thru all of this. I've been a GLP'r since 2006 I think (???), I've never been to another forum, never will, GLP is my home, my Family. Twatter is different, I don't consider it cheating. Edited to add: AND MY FAVORITE BEARS, THEE MOST POWERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD! |

Quoting: Mental Case I have extra & I'm happy to share, but I would need a mailing address (PO box or something). The last one to give that info out was "Publican". If you want to Mental Case, I have no problem sharing my address here, not concerned about anyone misusing it. Hit me with a comment if you see this and I'll be happy to share it. Thank you Brother. |

I bet you qualify for medical benifits! Sometimes it looks worst, right before it gets better. I am speaking as an advocate for my disabled sister, who just got approved for SSDI. Please don't give up - get to a health insurance counseling and advocacy program- they are located at your area agency on aging, and they serve low income, and disabled - (they are known as HICAP) Quoting: ruser I am hoping that more help for Vets gets transferred to the private sector. That's what I thought Trump was going to work toward. only liberal commie scum want to dismantle the V.A. |

Get you complete medical record, copy it and walk in into the SS office. I did it for my husband whose disability was approved 5 months later. He had bone cancer~ rip my love~ Quoting: LilOle Never ever give up! That is a fabulous idea, hadn't thought of it, thank you!! I'm very sorry for your loss, my deepest symp/empathy. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75668073 United States 10/04/2018 12:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please be aware if you contact your local VA and advise them that you are in jeopardy of becoming homeless, they will assist you. Quoting: AKGIRL Every time I go with my husband to his VA appointments, they ask us if we are in need of help or in risk of being homeless. Hope this helps. Will go to your go fund me page. Prayers for you. At the moment I can't travel that far due to my surgeries, not allowed to be in a vehicle that long. I've called the VA a dozen times, they refuse to come to me, and won't listen to my advocate. Thank you so very much AKGIRL! |

If I choose "other", it takes me to the next line to fill in an amount. I'm not sure if that's the amount for you or the tip. Do you or anyone know before I fill that out? I want to make sure it all goes to you. Also, does GFM give you the total amount donated to you? If not, if you have a paypal and an email, message me and I'll send direct to your paypal account (no charge to you). Quoting: thinking... Thank you very much! I didn't know the answer to your query, glad Wyatte did. I can't use my paypal right now, made a stupid mistake a while back that needs resolving, I can give you my home address if you'd like tho, lemme know, thinking... |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75668073 United States 10/04/2018 12:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well me too son. I'm totally shot. Just a a few nerves burnt and some Kenalog today, coming off Propofol now. Hey if you have bad nerve pain or pain at all try that Lyrica. It worked as well as the Methadone. Depleted Uranium was my cohort. Like to hear from you more. From a guy with steel plates and dead people parts in his spine. I'm not letting the right hand know what the left hand is doing. Quoting: Beetlepumprr I have lots of Titanium and dead people parts from my neck down Brother, I'm with ya. Permanent nerve damage, I'm on high doses of Neurontin for that, it's helping but I can still only sleep for an hour or so at a time. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75668073 United States 10/04/2018 12:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If I could I would donate some money but I am in a similar yet Quoting: Headley Lamarr not so similar situation. I am curious though about your disability benefits thru the VA. If they granted you benefits were they from a service connected disability ? When you tried to get your rating increased was it from a diagnoses of a VA physician or an outside physician? The reason I ask is I took care of my dad for three years and dealt with all the VA issues so I know the hassle and hoops routine. If your initial disability is service connected I do not think they can legally stop your benefits because your condition worsened for any reason. It was service connected and diagnosed by them as degenerative, and legal or not they did it. Canceled me when I applied for the increase. It was from an outside doc. I'm appealing and have an appt with a VA doc coming up. |

Quoting: OnTheFence It will have to wait perhaps until the end of next week (12th) before I can help out. We're in between paychecks with hubby starting a new job and waiting for his first paycheck. I'm on soup and crackers for another week until then hehehe. HUGS Thank you to the both of you so very much. Know all about the soup and crackers, lol, grilled cheese and ceral are my friends right now too! |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75668073 United States 10/04/2018 01:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The guidelines the VA uses to decide if a condition is service relate or not are very very confusing and seem at times arbitrary. Quoting: Asmodée My condition was caused directly by my service, they no problem recognizing it until they saw an opportunity to give me the axe, and they jumped on it, fuckers. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75668073 United States 10/04/2018 01:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just sent 10. Quoting: Lost Pottawatomie I'm not familiar with your situation, and to properly pray, please tell what injury or condition is the problem. I too am an electrician, engineer, dedicated to helping others by making extremely complicated things work right. March 19 I was assaulted, went over a railing, landed on my right cheekbone, paralyzed a week, 5 cervical vert fused, lotsa stainless steel screws. Prayer from GLP and others got me back to work in just over 2 months. I had nothing but credit cards for continuing expenses. I came dangerously close to being homeless. My son set up a contribution page, but shortly after it got bought up by GoFMe and sorta died. ANYway....., as an electrician, you understand wiring in cables. Understanding the problem is always the first step in troubleshooting. Nerve=wire, and Myelin=insulation. I didn't seem to have nerve damage but a lot of myelin damage. They did open up the cervical vertabrae side channels for the nerves even as they repaired the fractures. Guess my point is that prayer put me back to work after full paralysis in only 9 weeks. On the other side was fear of homelessness, losing my remaining personal possessions, and the hope of ever having my own home again. No one told me it was impossible to heal that quickly, and I'm glad. EDIT/ While I was in the sub-critical rehab I had to take an Uber out to the office of a sub-physcian involved in my initial treatment...and I asked how soon someone my age could expect to return to work..and she said she knew of no one my age that did. Then I asked about ANY age, and she said "Maybe a year". I said nothing, but decided "Dammit, I can beat that. I gotta" Many things are still quite difficult, but I give thanks for the many things I can do and enjoy, when I consider the majority that do not regain movement enough to be independent. We can pray more accurately with knowing exact spinal locations and diagnosis, your exact description of pain and how it is a limitation. Ha! Same questions as SSecurity, but these come that focused prayer might be an even greater help than $. I have a lot to say in response to you, running out of time today, and I'm trying to get to everyone that's posted. Give me a day or two to catch up and I'll get back with you. Thank you! |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75668073 United States 10/04/2018 01:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just some advice here. I know in dealing with the VA it is Quoting: Headley Lamarr sometimes better to go to a Veterans Affairs Office and not the hospital when trying to get things done. The folks at the hospitals always seem overwhelmed and the case workers are usually overloaded. The regional offices that are available for just about anything you need with benefits are easier to deal with. If you aren’t using a regional office you should try it and resubmit through them. Trying thru them, but I can't travel right now, and they refuse to send someone to me. |

Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |
