Tues July 31st marked the 9th week since I started the paper work for my wage replacement disability insurance. First check is finally in the mail today.
I never said I was a patient person. The older I get the less patient I become. But I think I did rather well waiting for them to get their ass's in gear. I only drove my friends mildly crazy,(ok maybe a bit more that mild). I did call the main number to ask the status of my claim every other day. And knowing that they would never give me the real address to their office I did not hoard gas in my car so I could drive east to "talk" in person. I did how ever learn who my friends are. And I was very surprised at the level of help. I will never be able to give back all they gave me. And I'm not just talking money, which did help a lot! They hauled my sorry butt to the store, vacuumed my living and dining room. Dragged me out to dinner or lunch or both to make sure I ate healthy more than once a week. And unhealthy at least once a week LOL! Even got dragged to the local casino and was given $20 to play with, which by a small miracle turned into $240 on the first machine. Yes I took the money and ran as fast as my crutches and I could hobble. They made sure I escaped to Kansas City for memorial week end. And 3 friends fought over who would help me buy a new outfit for my son's wedding. I may not be the most patient (ok any patience would be a big improvement) person on the planet but I do know that I have some of the best friends in the world. As soon as I can get back on my feet so to speak,I am going to pay them all back in my own way. And I will get even some time around 2057. Geeze there goes the water works again. SNIFF!! Must be getting a cold. Yeah, that's it a cold. Achoo?! =}
