Ernie Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi,I had my appointment with the government pension doctor to evaluate if I still qualify for disability pension.The interview lasted 3.5 hours. He asked so many questions and I had trouble concentrating, so sometimes I had to ask him to repeat the question.He was very nice, knowledgeable about POTS and about 75 years old. I think I was his only patient of the day.He also did a physical exam.I guess I should find out in a month or so if I am still disabled!!!!!!

all4family Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi Ernie,Glad to hear it went well for you. I will be praying it works out good! Glad the doctor was so nice, and knowledgable.....To bad he is a pension doctor, and not taking regular patients!Suzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary P Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi Ernie,I can't believe what you had to go through! That's shameful! I wish you all the best and that the benefit comes through for a truly deserving person. I was happy to hear that the man who questioned you was respectful and kind. That session must have really been hard on you in every way, emotionally, physically, etc. You're a real trooper!I appreciate what I read as a good sense of humour....."I should find out.....if I'm disabled". Good for you! It's not always easy to keep a sense of humour but it gave me a chuckle. I hope I'm not way off track with this. If I am, I apologize to you.I've been wondering if you got a bed that allows you to sleep easily and without pain.Mary P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi Mary,I have a hospital bed with a foam mattress which is comfortable. I had to try 4 mattresses before I finally got one which I could sleep on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
