My Story

I was diagnosed in June of 2018 and my company after 22 years of service put me of disability because I was a liability falling constantly for no reason. They have since let me go because I decided to follow through with SSI disability. Since I am not 65 it is difficult to get SSI. I am going to my last appointment with the neurologist by SSI which takes place xmas eve. I am hoping for a good outcome to prove to my mom that there is something wrong with me. She told me that there is nothing wrong with me and that I should go back to work. I explained to her that I would need to tell my boss why I am falling. Since my last fall ended up with a broken arm left. I am left handed. Figure that. I have gone through 2 surgeries to fix my wrist.still working on it at the moment. Fell September 29, 2018.
