Monday I will be getting my second paycheck. Yayayay I feel I am doing so well at my new job. I have written so many new policies for the doctor. I have a friend who proff reads for me. I am going to be going in and giving in services to the staff because we need to have fire drills and code blue drills. I have done all of that before. It feels good to be appreciated for my abilities and be paid for it. I just not have to find out how to let Social Security know I am working. I do not want to screw that up. I am working only enough not to mess that up until I find out if I am able to be well enough to work full time. I have had some more dizzy spells so I know the stress is getting to me at times. I may never be able to work full time again. Oh well part time is OK at least I am bring in some money and I feel like I am a vital part of the marriage again. Thanks for letting me ramble.

My client was told she could make up to $700 without losing her benfits.

I wonder if it is different from state to state. I have looked it up and the guidlines that I have found out says $900. I wonder if they increased it and your client did not know it.

It could be. It could also be because she nets only about $1000 a month & is on a number of other things to help her get by.

I take it you're on SSI disability..which kind? There are two, the SSI-D type which means you got disability benefits but because you had formerly worked and have work points can be allowed to earn a lot more money than a person like me on regular SSI benefits and can only earn about $f85 per month..stupid I know..that's why I try to find extra income off the books. Some of Social Security's rules are so stupid, honestly

Please get those chest pains taken care of. I would tell my patients (when I could work) that you only have one heart! Any chest pain should be taken seriously. I am loving my job but I can tell you the dizziness and the body jerking is coming back in full force. I do not know if I should go back to the doctor or if I should leave well enough alone. I am discouraged because I have been to so many specialists to no avail. I am torn if I should go to another specialists.
