Disability Testing

So I had to undergo an evaluation this week, to see if I am disabled or not.  It is one of those weird things shoved on me that I have to do.  I really do not understand why.  Maybe the insurance company wants to know what they are dealing with since I have basically now spent two years mostly in hospitals, hospices, doctor's office and the mouth of scanning equipment.

Sigh .....

Well, they rated me at 79% non-funtional. Yeah, there is a great deal I can not do but given time I can do most things, but time is something that is worshiped and not to tampered with.

For instance, I did painting this week on my bridge.  Well, yeah, it took me 5 hours - mostly laying on my back and scooting down the deck as I painted the railings - but I could do it.  In the evening I was able to get a helper to do the outside of that rail ... in 30 minutes!

Sigh .....

So, we will see if this information is of any value in the coming months.  My insurance company retained a lawyer several years ago to see if I qualified as disabled or not.  I still think they did this just to see if my medical expenses could me moved over to medicare and off of their rolls.  But, who knows?  And I have no idea what to do if I am declared disabled.  (But, if it involves money, perhaps I can get out of debt?)

Of course, it would seem to me that disability testing should include your mental acuity should count in the formula - my mind is a wasteland - but that is not what anyone is interested in - other than can you stand?

Sigh .....
