Most of you know how much I love The Pad, how much this community means to me and how much many of you individually and the community as a whole have given me so much support, love and encouragement.... so this is a huge HUGE THANK YOU to each & everyone of you, as even some of you who have arrived recently and don't know much about my situation have given me reasons to love this place even more.
If any of you is interested in the back story, just give us a shout and I ll gladly will tell you, but making a very long story short, I had some events happening that meant the government made me go (again) for an assessment about my disability and threatened to take away the money I receive each week, which would mean that I would loose our place, our car, the medication I take..... well....
last week, after countless questionnaires I had to fill in, phone calls I had to endure and a face to face interview with a health professional I had to attend (these interviews are surrounded by a threatening feeling, I think they do it on purpose!) and 2 month of waiting for an answer that had me on some anxiety levels that went through the roof and my heart conditions worsen......
I got the letter.
Last week.
They are keeping me in the support group- no need to do anything.
I honestly don't think I can put into words my feelings... but when I read it, I cried of joy, and even though there is still a lot I need to look after and sort out (my physical health mainly)
I have also a conformation that the re evaluation from social services my doctor asked for me to have, was successful and I have been awarded 10.5 hours a week....
Now I need to find a person suitable to work, but, even though I am still a bit up and down with my moods as those depend on the levels of physical pain I'm in....the news of not having the black cloud of being homeless and hungry has lifted my spirits and, once again, my faith keeps strong, most of my prayers have been answered...
I have to thank you for all the support, and, if I have been a little distant, now I am trying to catch up with you all- we had no internet in the weekend- but I ll be trying my very best now.
If you can keep us in your prayers/thoughts/ still, I will also be hugely grateful... there are no words to express how important you all are to me... thank you so so much!!!!!!!!
