Since I started my disability thread on the free board, I only feel its fair to share with all you well wishers, supporters, and fantastic people, that I have been approved for Complete Medicaid Coverage and Cash Disability Assistance

I'm also getting a back-pay check for $345 because I was already eligible in June. I'll get $115 dollars per month therafter. My state's Medicaid covers a wide range of extra services beyond the federal requirements and I live just a few blocks from an enormous university hospital complex, so it should be east to receive care with just the Medicaid coverage than if I were to have to seek out private practice. My ortho doc of the past 2 years from the student health center will be relieved because he can finally refer me to a real PM doc.

I just called my mother, I'm going to write my father. I almost want to e-mail my caseworker, but I bet he knows.

Today I have to turn in my my SSI application and that is a different story, but TODAY! I am the luckiest woman in the world! I thanked th manwho called profusely over and over, as well as thanking a God of uncertain origin and told him he saved my life.
