My energy levels are dropping again and my pain is increasing. This past week hasn't been great. I don't know if I should chill or go for it and exercise. I have done some exercises in bed that someone, sometime over the years told me about. I felt worse the next day and I even did the minimal reps. The only positive thing I can report is that my mood is stable. I'm not letting this get me down. I'm tired of being depressed when things start going this way, so I'm going to stay ahead of this mentally and keep positive.

In regards to my SSD review/reconsideration/appeal fight:

NOTHING has happened. My check did come through, but they botched my Medicare part. God forbid something serious happen right now. Even so, I have to make a billion calls to get it straightened out. All it comes down to is Medicare letting MediGold know I'm reinstated. It looks like I'm going to be the one to do the leg work. Medicare is going to send me some proof of reinstatement and MediGold says I should bring it in to their office. Why does all the shit always fall on the person who feels like shit? Why can't people do their jobs correctly the first time? Also, if you say you are going to follow up or call back, THEN DO IT!
