Day 3 Update, lots

[JMCKUSICK]

Hi everybody,
What an eventful day!
I slept decently, 2 hours here, 3 there.
Home health nurse came @ 9:30 all went well.
Took the walk to the cemetery with Cuddles (YAY) at 11:30, took a long time, had the seat walker and used it several times there and back.
Checked my E-mail and low and behold, SSA sent one that said my case had been updated. So I am now at stage four of their review and it's being done at our local office. Said estimated time to decision 15-30 days! WOOOOHOOOOOOOO
My lawyer thinks it will be denied simply because it's a back case but thinks we will do well on appeal.
The only downside is that we may have to wait for my Cardiac Rehab to finish before I can do a FAA. (Functional Ability Assessment)
I took Tracy to lunch so I could also have a quick stop at the grocery store. I survived that although my back is creaking loudly lol.
Now getting ready for the County Democratic meeting that starts in 1 hour.
All in all a good day.

Yes I've done the incentivize thingy some today as well.
Please send secret "John, bite your tongue" messages so I behave at the meeting lol.

I hope your day went as swimmingly as mine.
Love,
John

2. You are doing so well, John! Glad you got to walk with Cuddles and making "good trouble."

6. He was so excited.

The walker scared him, but he adjusted and we had a nice time. Took two hours. He lapped with me several times and I prayed and tried to meditate but inner stillness was a bit of a struggle.
We did get to see a majestic White/Gray Owl grace us with a couple of flights and landings. That humbled me in a hurry and stilled me further.
First in flight Owl I have ever seen live. So regal.

8. Hi XanaDUer2, thank you for asking.

Cuddles was such a happy boy, he was so glad to walk as that's our special bond. It was our first since the surgery.
Lots of lap time and pets and a simple and careful walk back. I'm just as happy as he is!

I'm finally home from the Dem Committee meeting.
It went 2.5 hours and was better than I expected by a long shot.
I'll call you tomorrow. Sleep well.
Please give my best to Rich.
