[QUOTE="DDD, post: 547469, member: 35"] Primarily I am sending caring hugs your way. I can only imagine how upsetting it must be to face the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) issues in addition to the other problems. My difficult child#1 literally just had his appeals hearing yesterday in Tampa. He used one of the law firms that specialize in Disability claims. Due to his short term memory problems and lack of sustained focus it was valuable to have them "in charge" of the processing. There seems to be a good chance that he will win the appeal. Part of me fears him receiving a large check because his impulsivity may result in a new car with chrome wheels instead of a well planned course of action. Sigh. Do you have ONE special place where you pretty consistently store important papers? If you do I would like to suggest that today you print a copy of your post and put that paper in the safe place. Your description in this post is not only touching...it demonstrates the multiple ways you are impacted by the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) disability. If you go to the Dr. (and truthfully I don't recall whether you have health care available or not...just hope so) and give him a copy of this post he will grasp the scope of your problems and you won't have to worry about forgetting to share some aspect. I am so glad that your girls have offered to help. I, too, have great difficulty giving up control so I do understand. If you can get appropriate diagnosis's and care I think it will alleviate some of the stress and fear. As always I want the very best to come your way. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
