JoAnn, thanks for your support, Could he have possibly been kidding??? I haven't heard from him personally to explain his reaction. I thought maybe my breezy manner offended him, but I was just trying to be brief and helpful. This SS Disability nightmare is really not funny. Guess PD has robbed me of my sense of humor too. When my father (now deceased) had surgery for a benign brain tumor he was never the same afterwards and got disability very easily for his "nervousness". He looked like death warmed over, so maybe that was a factor, but would a woman have gotten it so easily for "nervousness"???. He was in fact disabled, but I could never figure out why people with PD and Cystic Fibrosis had such a hard time. Wonder if people with Lou Gehrig's disease have the same problem.
