It feel kike a full time job. Then I got home and had a message on my answering machine. It seems that the 2 notes I brought in to welfare wasn't enough and I missed my employment meeting (every Thursday at 10am) I am having a hard time dealing with the anger. When 2 doctors write you a note saying that you are being treated for recurrant cancer and can't work right now isn't enough and they want more, and the office next door approved you for medicade because of disability. They told me that once you were aprove for disability you no longer had to prove it to welfare. All of this for $320 a month that I will be paying back once I get SSI! So tommorrow I will get them 2 more doctors notes on thier official forms and show them proof I was in the Hospital. After I go get a bag of IV liquids and Radiation treament. By the way only minor side effects so far. A little ring in the ears and a headache. Lose of appitite too. I am waiting for the diarea. Stress helps! See you, oh and I couldn't drive anywhere alone so I missed my support group. I have to wait another month! Bummer.
