Howdy my SKMB friends !! Been awhile, I know, I know!! Been fighting a four year battle to get Jeff onto SS disability! (many many doctor visits/reems of paperwork, pretty much a draining nightmare for years). We FINALLY won that battle this June. He was only awarded two years back pay, which we still haven't received.... But at least now, he can receive Medicare and we have a little extra money each month (really hard for a family with 3 kids that need things and all Teddy's med bills on one check). I work nights, so I sleep days/not so much time for social media, I guess. Also found out that Teddy has a funky genetic mutation in his blood, appears he is hypercoagulant/meaning he has maple syrup for blood... so that is why he has had 2 strokes at such a young age. Wish we had known that sooner, we could have prevented his 2nd stroke. :flat: We got a nice little black cat named "Shadow" to keep Teddy company at night, Teddy was not a cat person, but he is now..... and the damned cat loves him ... I'm the one that wanted him !! My kids are doing well, the oldest looking to get back into a master's program, the youngest wants to be a plumber.... I told him he had the crack for it .... =D Teddy is doing well, pretty much uses a cane to get around now, he is a bit more forgetful, and loses his balance at times. His speech is better, but he does have bad days/ sounds like Porky Pig, but I understand him! Teddy's daughter is fine, she is in high school now... So did we miss the trip to Colorado ???? Love you guys

Well, hello there!!
Sorry you guys have had such a hard time. Maybe when that money comes in, it will ease some of the burden.
Hi Pegasus!! Oh, we're managing .... living paycheck to paycheck does stress ya out though .... so hopefully things will ease up a bit. Not complaining though, many others have it much worse ...
