Long over due update
So here's the deal. Back in January I was admitted to the hospital again. This time for 5 days instead of 4. Turns out my heart has gotten worse. The ejection fraction is the measurement of blood that the heart sends out on every beat. 4 years ago with my 4 day hospital stay I was at 35%. The average human is anywhere from 60 to 70% Well in January I was informed that my Ejection fraction is now at 26% and that I have become a candidate for a heart transplant. On top of all that I am no longer allowed by my doctor to work. I am to take my medications and not do anything strenuous.
So I talk to the community service department at the hospital and they go ahead and schedule an interview with the Disability department of Colorado. Everything looks good they take all my information and send it off to Denver to be reviewed by their medical board. They say it will take 2 to 6 months from the date of disability for an answer. They tell me that I am to call them an report any changes within 30 days to them so that it doesn't cause any delays in processing. Well I give all of this information to my roommates when I see them and they are all cool with letting me float because I will get a large settlement once disability is approved and we can take care of things then. All good right? Wrong. February 26th my roommate who told me not to worry about this because he had been in the same situation flips out and decides to take all of his frustrations about our other roommate not having a job on me.
He says 2 days before rent is due that he is moving out. Now by this time I have managed to get 2 under the table jobs even though my other roommate hasn't gotten one job. I'm doing my part and even doing more than what was asked of me. I applied for food stamps and am bringing actual food into the house, I'm working even though I'm not supposed to, and I am helping out where I can with various things.
So I have no choice, I had already been talking to my mother and sister about coming to visit California for my birthday so I tell them what is going on and they decide since I am now going to be evicted that I should just move home. So now the first roommate complains and moans, he moved out with us to get away from meth but because he is paying the bills he can't have his pot or his beer anytime he wants it. Boo Hoo! I can't work for real, think that makes me happy? It's called sacrifice at some point everyone has to go through it.
So I get back to California on March 6th, that's a Thursday, I call Disability on the 10th, That's a monday, and I change my address with them. Everything go es great I give them the new address they record it and ask if there is anything else they can help me with. I tell them no that I am just keeping up on my part of the deal it's been 5 days and I just want to keep everything up to date. All good right? Wrong!
I call disability on May 6th, I just wanna check in make sure the address change went smooth and stuff because I haven't received anything from them in a while. No requests for more information, no request to go see their doctors, no update basically. They tell me that they just received my file in California the previous day and because of that they don't have to make a decision until September 6th. I'm like, no one told me anything about a delay of that sort. I called in like I was supposed to, do your records show that. She says yes that is in the system and the address they have does match the one I'm living at. So I ask why is there a delay? She says oh it is because we didn't receive your file until yesterday. So what you are telling me is that I did everything I was supposed to and Colorado took 2 months to get it to you so by no fault of my own I am being delayed? She says well it always works like that. I ask so Colorado is allowed to do a file transfer like this when ever they want to? I mean they could have waited until the day my original decision was do to transfer the file? She says well normal they don't do that. So I ask but they could? She says there is no rule saying when it has to be transferred only that when it is a delay may be caused. So I tell, ever wonder why the average citizen hates government organizations? She says yeah I wonder that. Well her it is Lady, crap like this. There is no sense of urgency and I did what I was told I had to do and you guys got around to it when you felt like it. Have a nice day and why don't you go into the bathroom there in the office and take that pistol out of your purse and blow your brains out because yes you and your co-workers really are that worthless.
That money is supposed to be used in July for an event in Phoenix and possibly pay for a plane to Detroit in October. And now I may have to cancel it all. Fuckers!
