Had a funny (haha) discussion with my lawyer over this. Told him the question to ask me is not CAN I do something but HOW. I live alone. If I cant figure out how to do something I have an even bigger problem. Of course I can cook, clean, grocery shop and do laundry. Now ask me HOW I have to do them.

I am sure people do try and rip off the system. What bugs me is the money I get from long term disability barely covers my mortgage. I have been draining savings for 3 years to cover the rest, even after cutting expense to the bone. Does any sane person think I would do this for the heck of it?

My hearing the Sept 13th. Thankfully not a Friday the 13th. And what is this hearing by video stuff? Judge doesnt even come in person unless you request it and are willing to wait a few more months. Heck maybe they can save me a trip to the city and we can do it via skype.

I wish you well at your hearing. It is definately an aggravating experience.

My issue is not how but when I can do things. My issue is chronic fatigue and pain due to apparently Lupus. I have already spent my savings and thankfully my ex is covering our mortgage. I am going to owe her out the ass if we don't sell soon.

Thank you and good luck with yours too! My bday is Sept 13th and my hearing is Sept 14th Maybe Sept will be a good month for us!
