Well we attending my hubby's phys exam yesterday and I think that day will play in my nead for a long long time to come. Just sitting there and seeing his struggle just tore at my heart. I would see the tears falling down his face and the pain was so extreme I just wanted to jump up and run out of the room, but I will always be strong for him no matter how bad it hurts inside.

The exam went fairly well, was worried because he was having a good brain day, with no headache, so I am thinking he feeling pretty good he will probably do good on all of their testing and even the doc will think he is faking it.

But I was wrong it went the other way, there is no denying he cannot remember, doc said he was having trouble in both areas of memory, short and long term, he said he scored really low in both and that he would be supporting our claim. However, he set and talked to us afterwards and said that even though he was supporting our claim he is not SSD and he does not understand how they make their judgements, he claim in favor and they will still deny. He said just don't give up, continue the process, so I guess that is where we stand.

Not knowing what tomrrow will bring, still fighting workman's comp also, all I know is he cannot work, it would scare me to death to think about him being at work somewhere and not at home, he is fairly safe there, his parents are next door.

Thanks you to everyone here for being so supportive and always listening to my vents.

I remember mine..It lasted 5 hours...They said I had a reader of a 5th grader,,How do they determine that? I mean, I graduated college in 1990 from Nursing school,,,They did those blots on the cards..Had me read something and try to remember it 20 minutes later- Right, You can forget that. I'm lucky to remember 2 minutes later..I have to put stuff on paper for my memory...I know I left there feeling pretty depressed... Good luck on your case, Hugs, Cindy
