mary colleen Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Sounds like you are having trouble getting the disabilty paperwork completed by everyone so that John can get disabilty payments, right? Is it just the doctors office that needs to get their part filled out? Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowbow Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 I's the Social Worker that is giving problems. She is suppose to help with forms and sending them. She isn't doing it. The one nurse got after her today. Will see what gets done now. How long would it take to get records? And Hospice could let the VA know. This is very draining. You feel like you are fighting with everyone. And today John is getting restless. He told me if things don't change he is out of here! And wouldn't take pills and threw one. I know this is really hard for John. I may have done the same. I pray for a merical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda661 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm so sorry you are going through this. I found it to be the same way in the journey as a caregiver....you have to hand-hold and see to it that everything gets done properly, no matter who out there is supposed to be doing it for you in their professional responsibility role (that included folks who said they would help too in my journey). It's real eye-opening, disheartening thing to deal with, but it must be done. In my experience, no one but you will end up making sure that everything is in order. I wish I had better news on that front, perhaps others will.....I had to follow-through on all details behind every professional out there....very, very hard and caused lots of tears along the way. Keep us posted. You hang in there and do what you must, but just know that we are all here supporting you as best we can from a computer screen.
