Default I will know about disability soon

Hi, for those who don't know I'm working on my first appeal for disability. I have an autoimmune disease called Central Nervous System Vasculitis (CNSV). It is a disease where my immune system doesn't shut off. Central Nervous System just means it is centered in my brain. So, to make a long story short, blood vessels soak up the white blood cells, get inflammed, then burst causing a stroke. After four years of fighting this disease, 2.5 years of chemo (immunosuppessants), four strokes, and trying to work at the same time, I finally decided enough was enough and applied for disability this past May.

Tommorrow I talk to the person who will determine my eligiblity. And in a week or so, she will be making a decision which will either make me plan for hunting next season or run and get me a lawyer for the final appeal which can take up to two years. So, it's feast or famine. Well, a little feast.

Crossing my fingers...
