Well I haven't been on here in a little while now, but things are progressing slowly for me. Therapy is going good and I was just recently appointed a lawyer to help me with my disability case and I was approved for food stamps, which I've never had before. So I'm a little nervous about that. I never thought I would need them really but since I lost my grandma about a month ago I've been having trouble making ends meet and rely on family to help me pay the bills at her house. That's one thing that has been pretty difficult on me because the reason I moved into her house was to help take care of her. She ended up having Stage 3 small-cell lung cancer by time we were able to catch it, then it was a matter of 3 weeks before she passed. I was with her every day and it's taken a toll on my mental health. Then earlier this month I ended up breaking my foot, ironically enough it was when I was getting rid of her flowers from the funeral. I was making my way back up the deck when I tripped over the welcome mat and face planted into some boards we had laying around on the deck. Man the pain was excruciating!! I've never broken a bone before so I had no clue what was wrong until I finally got it looked at yesterday and it was confirmed that I broke my 5th metatarsal bone. Clean break all the way across but it was non-displaced, so it should heal up fine in about 3-6 weeks. Until then I'm in a weight bearing boot and crutches But I did get a vocational counselor recently as well and I just have to wait until my foot heals up fine before I can start looking for work. I'm going to try to work 4 days a week for 5 hours each day, so a total of 20 hours a week. That's all I can work when applying for disability anyways and that's all I can handle as well. I get overwhelmed really easy while working. So that's what's been going on with me. How are you guys doing?!
