Ken... Hey - I only stop by my synagogue to pray if I happen to see a burning bush! Errrrrrrr... and in Southern California, we seem to have bushes burning - along with quakes and land-slides, ALLLLLLL the time! <grin> Thankfully, tho, a very, VERY kind List member contacted me shortly after I'd posted about my friend not being able to drive me to the SSDI hearing, and thoughtfully offered to drive me. Now tell me - is THAT a nice fella or WHAT?!? <BIG smile> (AND a huge sigh of relief) Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of KEn Becker Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 1998 4:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: Short-term Disability Rest of my life type stuff. Barb, good luck at the hearing. If I were G-d, I would have to understand the priority. I am sure that anything that affects health and survival has a high priority. If you see a lot of lightning, you might want to stop by the Synagogue on the way to the hearing! On a serious note, you might want to try to get another person to drive you, or even take a cab, for two reasons, The obvious one being, you don't seem to feel good about driving long distances, and why take a chance? The less obvious: what if you are seen driving by the person (judge?) who makes the decision, or asked by him/her, how you got there? Being able to drive might make you appear to be less disabled, and that could sway the decision against you. We don't want to see no stinkin' decision against you! We'll be praying for you to get the maximum benefit. Ken B
