Really, I just can't take anymore. I am 10 days from my hearing with the judge and I am falling apart. The closer it gets, the further I fall. I can't eat or sleep. I can't concentrate on anything. On top of everything else that is going on my sister in law had a massive heart attack on Friday (she is okay) and my son in law had a seizure on Saturday night. I was up until 5:30 Sunday morning with my 7 year old granddaughter while we waited to hear any news from my daughter. She was asking me "Grandma, what will mommy and I do if daddy dies". She didn't want to leave the hospital for fear he would die and she would not be there with him. It just broke my heart. He is also okay. They don't know what caused the seizure but this is the second one he has had since I've known him. The first was in 2010. They recommended that he see an neurologist.
On top of the weekend I have had I was rereading my material from the judge and discovered that there would also be a vocational expert at my hearing. This is a person that I have never met and knows nothing about me. I guess it is his job to recommend to the judge that if I can't do the job I was doing when I quit working that there might be other jobs I could do. First of all, I have gone downhill rapidly in the two and a half years since I quit working so what I could do then is not a good indication of what I can do now. Does that mean because I am capable of blinking my eyes that I could find a job as an eye blinker? I seriously doubt it. Only I know what I am capable of doing, not the judge, not my doctors, not my attorney and certainly not a person I have never even met.
Rant over!
