Updates for ya all, Praise Jesus!!

August 26th, 2005

I went and got my mail from my Post Office Box last night August 25th, 2005, it had been a week since I got my mail...

There was an important letter from the Social Security Administration ( SSA ) for me. I opened it at desk in the Post Office and read it.. I WON for my SSDI, the letter said ~> This Decision is Fully Favorable To You!

So, now the Judge is Nice to me and sign the The Important Letter for me and since to August 22nd, 2005. But, I have to wait for another letter from Another Office from SSA before I get anything as of yet, and this Has to be before 60 days, I I don't hear anything it says, I am to contact my local office..

I Won my SSDI finally after more than two years waiting for it.

Thanks Everyone for the Prayers I really needed them!!

I will let you all know my plans as I know more about where God wants me to live soon!

September 8th, 2005

Today was my meeting at the Social Security Office in Portland, Oregon.. I found out today that I get back paid SSI ( Supplemental Security Income ) also from when I applied for my benefits in July 2003! So, I have call my old job tomorrow and get my pay that they paid in July 2003. Also, I signed up for Direct Deposit to my Check Account, I did this because, I won't go to the bank! The Manufactured House I want to buy is not good, because it was selled already to someone. Sandy, Oregon is a Very Pretty little City! There are a lot of Manufactured House's there, I think God wants me to help me soon where I will Live soon!

I am Still Sick with my lungs and cannot breathe very good right now. I am so tired a lot. I have to take 200mg Trazodone now, this is so I can sleep..

Love Always, YSIC \o/

Kristi,

Now that you've had your hearing before the judge and just the fact the vocational counselors were there means that is the only hearing you will have before you receive your award. You will receive a letter of award and I'm certain you will get your SSDI with no problem soon and it will come in one lump sum - that is to say they will make it retroactive back to the time you applied. After you get your lump sum then you will receive a certain sum each month and they determine just what that amount will be. So please do not worry at all - it is in God's hands and God is in control. God bless you, Kristy!

Thanks Everyone!

Here's the Lastest....

August 9th, 2005

My Second SSDI Hearing was Today at 10:45am in Downtown Portland, Oregon. This time there was a different Court Reporter and Vocational Expert for the Judge.

The Judge asked Assumption Questions to the Vocational Expert, six total. The Judge asked the Assumption Question, and it went like this below;

Can She Do the Work She Used to do in the Past mentally, Yes the Vocational Expert said, then the Next Question Can She Physically do the work, the Vocational Expert said No she cannot!

Then Questions like Can She do this for the other 5 questions, the the Vocational Expert said "No She Cannot!" to all five questions!

This time the Judge says I should hear from him in two weeks this time. I asked the Judge is there going to be another hearing, he said no..

My Lawyer Still thinks we Won my SSDI case as I cannot work anymore due to my severe disabilities I have. But, again we must wait upon the Judge to send me the letter in the mail soon.

I took pictures of my Birth Defect called "Pectus Excavatum" of my Chest. There are Five Scars from the Surgery, the main scar is more than one foot long. Then there are one small one inch long scars below my left breast, and two more the same one inch long and half an inch wide in the middle of my chest below both my breasts. The last scar is one inch round in diameter and it's in the side of my right breast. My Chest looks like a Road Map for a Surgeons Scalpel!!!

I have Bursitis in my right upper thigh and hips now, as I seen my doctor yesterday, and she told me that is what I have. It feels like someone kicked me really hard and it hurts a lot.

I am hopeful, I can Get my SSDI someday soon so I can move out on my own!!!!!!!

Please Pray that I get my SSDI Because it's been more than two years I have been waiting for it now!

Love n' Hugs, YSIC \o/

KristiAnn life isn't looking very bright for you right now but God is faithful to bring us through every trial.

Looks like your main priority right now is getting away from that apartment complex. Praying that you will be guided and receive wisdom in order to find new accommodations.

Also praying that you will receive the proper care you need, and will get relief from your constant pain.

Thanks so much everyone for the Prayers!! I Love you all! [hug]

I am Super Stressed and Depressed right now. Here are some updates below;

February 27th, 2005 6:45PM pst

I am Very Stressesd About my up and Coming Social Security Disability Hearing March 9th, 2005. I Hope and Need Prayers Please that I get my SSDI as I am NOT faking any of my pain I have in my body, even since birth with my severe birth defect called "Pectus Excavatum" my center breast bone was fused to my back bone when I was born. Plus my two ruptured disks in my back at C5-C6 in my neck and L4-L5 in my lower back that's pressing on two sides of my spinal cord. Since I broke my right knee cap in half while ice skating, and broke my right leg at my ankle while roller skating! BTW, there is a lot to my conditions, I have tired to put them all here and might have forgot a few details, that is all. As far as my C5-C6 disk rupture in my neck. I remember now, I injured it at work in the late 1980s and I was visiting my parents back around 1995 or 1996. My parents have a horse named Tilly, well, my dad and mother were leading her from a creek. My mother said get on the back of Tilly and we will lead you back to the house. I got on Tilly bare back and as we started to move, I fell off of her unto my right shoulder and neck on the ground. I believe that made my disk rupture worse in my neck. Plus a car accident in 2001 where I was T-Boned in my little Honda Civic.

I really Need to Move from where I am living soon! My room-mate is Vebally Abusive to me, I do NOT like God's Name taken in Vain at me, nor the other curse words directed at me. I cannot take much more of this at all!!!!

I am still a bit sick with Pneumonia, once I am over it, I am getting the Pneumonia Shot! My body cannot handle anymore Pneumonia's!!!

I am super Stressed about my up and coming Social Security Disability Hearing March 9th, 2005 at 10:45AM pst in downtown Portland, Oregon! I am Not sleeping well, nor do I have been eating right, because I have no appetite. My Body cannot handle Stress like this!! I am Depressed for not having income at all since the year 2003!

I have several reasons why I need to move from here soon! My Room-mate is verbally abusive to me. She is Bi-sexual and Lesbian. In this one bedroom apartment, it is very small. Even though the telephones in the Living room and Kitchen are off, I hear the phone ring all the way up to 2AM in the morning sometimes, and this morning I was woke to hear the telephone ring at 4AM and 5:30AM. My room-mates girl-friend calling. I wish people would Stop calling here after 11PM and not until at least 6 or 7AM in the morning! I NEED my sleep! My room-mate goes to gay bars looking to have fun and she uses my Jeep Grand Cherokee to go there, This NEEDS to stop NOW!

I take Prescription Sleeping pills and Pain pills so I can sleep through the night. I am NOT addicted to any of my Medications; they're needed for a purpose! I have arthritis in my body, plus I have had a sleep disorder for many years. It's Very hard to sleep with two ruptured disks in my back. My L4-L5 disk rupture is pressing on two sides of my spinal cord; the October 8th, 2004 MRI showed me why my lower back hurts so much. I have to support my neck just right when I sleep, because of my C5-C6 disk rupture in neck! If I sleep in a weird position at night, my neck will hurt me all down my right side if my body severely for almost a month.

I remember now more about my C5-C6 disk rupture in my neck. I first injured it at work in the late 1980s, then falling off my parent’s horse bare back in 1995, plus my 2001 car accident where I was T-Boned in the passenger side of my little Honda Civic.

I don't know when and how my L4-L5 disk rupture happened! I wish I knew, because this one hurts me a lot. In fact I had to take two Vicodin Pain pills yesterday to help ease the pain. What I DON'T like at all is my doctors playing this game with me saying I am faking my pain! They are NOT God, nor do they know everything! If a Orthopaedic Doctor did my 1965 surgery to rebuild my rib cage and remove it from my back bone, and at the same time my heart and lungs where operated on. An Orthopaedic Doctor found my C5-C6 disk rupture in my neck in the late 1980s, after my 1st MRI, he told me to get a lawyer, I asked him why, he didn't tell me why. He had me go too Physical Therapy and have Traction done on my neck twice a week. My current doctor a Neurologist prescribed me a home traction device so I can do traction on my neck at home. I still haven't gotten this, I don't know where I am supposed to go to order or find one!

I am super tired and need to go sleep if I can get some peace for a change! It's Very hard to sleep when you’re in the downstairs apartment of three stories. The staircase is connected to the apartment side where I am staying. People run up and down the staircase all night and early morning. The very top apartment, they're young couple are from another county and they are Very noisy when they are walking two stories above me. Plus they run up and down the staircase!!

I need HELP in PRAYER to get away from where I am living please. I badly need my SSDI so I can be on my own again!!!!! I cannot take anymore abuse!

I went too my Therapist today, and she is really nice to! She diagnosed me with Chronic Depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I will see an Psychiatrist Doctor at the Therapists office, to have Newer Depression Medication , and treat my PTSD disorder.

I have had major Traumatic things happen to me when I was born and growing up. So, I welcome any help I can get to help me with this!! I really think God lead me to the Right Place for help! My therapist will give information and a report to me and one to my SSDI Lawyer, I signed a release for this to be done. I am Super Stressed of my up and coming SSDI hearing March 9th, 2005!!

KristiAnn, your story brought me to tears as I prayed for you. I am so sorry about what you have gone through. It is so ridiculous that many people can barely afford the medical help they need or sometimes not at all because of strict "insurance policies" or "plans" or whatever the case may be. Either way, it is DENYING the help that human beings need. It's not like you are going in for plastic surgery! You are in pain! This also applies to what TEXASGRANDMA said about making $2.00 a year too much. What a terrible thing to be denied coverage over.

I have very strong feelings about these issues, and now I must ask God for forgiveness because I am very angry at the health care system and I need The Lord's help in transforming that anger over this situation into meaningful prayer which will be placed in all of your directions.

Bless you all!

I can only imagine a part of what you are going through. We make $2.00 a year to much to qualify for medical help. I haven't been able to take my medication in 3 years. But, God has been mericful to me and I pray He will give you a good night sleep.

updates Everyone;

December 8th, 2004 11:07AM pst

I seen my Neurologist Doctor yesterday. He read me the Report from my 3rd and 4th MRI's. He has given me a prescription for a home traction device for my C5-C6 ruptured disk. And one for a new neck brace as my old one is worn out. However, he did tell me my L4-L5 rupture is really bad on one side towards the spinal cord with not enough room for my nerves to go through. He still thinks I am not a candidate for surgery for either disk rupture. To me this makes me upset, I have been living in this Pain of my two disk ruptures for more than 10 years now. And my birth defect, arthritis since birth. No one ever Looks at my birth defect anymore!

He (the Neurologist) also was going to make an appointment with a Neurosurgeon for both of my disk ruptures. I was excited leaving his office knowing soon hopefully something could be done about my pain. When I got home there was a message on my answering machine from Doctor Wilson's office saying;

"The Oregon Health Plan will NOT cover me going to see an Neurosurgeon unless it's life threatening! GRRRRRRRRR. This means I CANNOT get my two ruptured disks at C5-C6 and L4-L5 fixes at all in any surgery!! The Oregon Health Plan does the same with my two Broken Teeth (My two back bottom molars), I get the same story, unless it's an Emergency, then they only cover pulling them and NOT fixing them!

SOMETHING is wrong HERE!! What is Wrong with the USA and it's Health Care!!!!!!!!!!! The Oregon Health Plan is Federally Funded........

My Neurologist Doctor is continuing Light Physical Therapy for me still. I have had it with Physical Therapy! I have been doing this for 10 years when they found my first rupture at C5-C6, it lasted for a little bit then ended. I then revert back to the pain and Migraine headaches I get everyday!

I know God is testing me, I just don't know how long I can keep Living in Pain since my Birth!! :'( :'(

December 12th, 2004 5:15PM pst

My Depression is Very Severe right now, due to my Severe Disabilities I have and no income to take care of my monthly needs since the year 2003..

I have been in contact with Joni and Friends!, this is so I can get an Electric Wheelchair. I am so weak in my both knees now I can barly walk even w/ my walker. I will be Lord Willing in an Electric WheelChair soon, as my upper body cannot push a wheelchair with my arms. My C5-C6 ruptured disk, takes my strength and causes a lot of pain, while my Severe Ruptured disk at L4-L5 is taking my lower body by causing pain in the lower part of my body. My complete Right side of my body is weak and I take Vicodin everyday for my pain.

So, now hopefully people can understand why I am severely depressed. Being with a Severe Birth Defect as well, and Arthritis and Color Blind (all rare), I DO have a right to ask God Why sometimes!!

December 21st, 2004 5:45PM pst

I am so hurting today. My right of my body is very hurting me. Both of my knees are popped in and out of joint, now my right hip is doing the same popped and in and out joint. I took a Vicodin and is only help me a little bit. My neck has been hurting so much everyday I have been wearing my neck brace, plus my neck pains from my C5-C6 disk rupture in my neck I am loosing sleep from the pain. I am wearing a back brace now, as my lower right hip is hurting very badly from my ruptured Disk L4-L5.

I can Not believe that this stupid "Van Ru" called me today. Plus they have been called about everyday and hang up when I say hello or my room-mate says hello on her own telephone line. The Van Ru people have been hung of us than done and Don't say anything and hang up all the time!! Van Ru is a Credit Corporation and they hang of me everyday. I have told them, that is phone number is NOT my phone, it's my room-mate phone. They say I gave them this Phone number and I never did this. They got it from ID and this is illegal to call me when it's not my phone number!! I have told them more than once I am cripped and Severely Disabled, they do NOT care and call me any way....

I am so Depressed this Christmas Season. I have NO family in Oregon. I cannot afford to drive to my mothers this year for Christmas either. SO, Please Everyone, I HAVE NO FAMILY in Oregon at ALL! I am NOT happy right now. I get headaches Everyday....

December 23rd, 2004 10:09pst

Last night I went to my Physical Therapy at 4:30PM pst, They asked me about my bill, I told them I have had no money since the year 2003. They told me the "Oregon Health Plan" will NOT COVER or pay for my Physical Therapy at all! They won't even help pay for a Neurosurgeon to even look at my really bad ruptured disks at C5-C6 or my L4-L5.

SOMETHING is WRONG with the Health Care in the USA!!! The Oregon Health Plan is Federally Funded!!!!

Two days before Christmas "Van Ru credit Corporation" called again today just about 5 minutes ago, and said I gave them and "Captial One" this telephone number. This Telephone Number Does NOT belong to me at all, and I Never gave it to them, Captial One got this telephone number from their caller ID!! I have had no money since the year 2003 and They DO NOT understand, when I say I am Severely Disabled, and Crippled.

I don't have any family in Oregon, nor can I go anywhere for Christmas with No Income since the year 2003. I al so depressed because I cannot even see my mother ar all in Northern, California.

I know Jesus Loves me, and God Loves me, so Please Help Me Lord Jesus!

I wear a neck brace and back brace most all the time. My Center Breast bone (Sternum Bone) was fused to my back bone when I was born, so I have spinal problems in my Neck, Lower Back and Center Back. Stainless steel wires hold my rebuilt rib cage togther at my Sternum bone...

I am super tired right now and am going to rest, I took a Vicodin and I am going to take a nap for a little bit..

Kristi Ann, you are an inspiration to us all. God uses you in such a special way to minister His Love through your web site. God has seen fit to bless me with good health probably because I am so weak that I could not withstand what some others must bear in this fallen world. Therefore, I cannot know the pain you must be feeling inside yet I am saddened by your suffering. I am just a sinner man saved by grace and called to preach the Gospel. I want you to know that I am praying for you in earnest and truth from the depths of my heart. That God will touch you with His healing hand and take your pain and suffering away replacing it with perfect health, comfort, and joy.

While I was praying for you Kristi Ann God gave me a vision that I believe He wants me to share with you. So here it is:

I am at the Lambs table in heaven sitting in a low seat about three quarters of the way from the front. Oh, what a glorious table and what a wondrous feast it is. It is no wander that Christians are blessed with an appetite for good food I am overwhelmed with joy looking at this feast. I am feeling inside like I have never felt before, what unspeakable joy! It is as though I do not remember any sin or any suffering I am only experiencing pure love and total peace. This cannot be described using our confounded language there just are no words to describe the peace and joy. Looking a long way up to the front where Jesus is sitting at the head of the table. There surrounding Him is the Apostle Paul, John the Revelator, John the Baptist, Mosses and the Patriarchs, His brother James, The Blessed Virgin, and so many more. Now God revealed to me that Kristi Ann is in the midst of them near the head of the table.

This is only a small glimpse of what joy is ahead for us; IT IS OUR BLESSED HOPE!

What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see. When I look upon His face the one who saved me by His Grace; When He takes me by the hand and leads me to the Promised Land. What a day, a glorious day that will be.

God Bless you Kristi Ann….

I am super stressed and I cannot work due to my severe Disabilities. So, everyday is a weekend for me sort of,I forget what day it is sometimes. Not having any Income since the year 2003 has been Very hard on me.Plus Hoveround was here where I live to fit me for an electric wheelchair, as my arthritis has progressed to Both knees and it's very hard to walk with a cane anymore or my walker. They're going to see if my Oregon Health Plan will cover this for me at 100% with the approval of my Neurologist Doctor. I hope and Pray
this works out for me. Because Physical Therapy has Not helped my C5-C6 or my L4-L5 ruptured disks in my back. Plus I am hopefully getting a home traction device to use for my C5-C6 neck Rupture.

I am going to need a corset for my rebuilt rib cage as the arthritis has made all my ribs weak. How I am going to get these things, I have no clue.

Well, I just took a Vicodin for my pain, and I am
super tired at 6:55PM pst..

I am so Severe Disablities and Depressed now!!

Adding two more cents...

Lord, the pain in my own back seems so microscopically insignificant compared to this woman's trouble. And through her pain she wishes others well, and blesses them. Father this alone is worthy of your healing hand--please reach down and let Kristi's afflictions know your authority over them. As the woman who was healed simply by touching your robe, Lord, send your power out. Let the healing begin. Let her doctor's stand in awe of the Great Physician, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen. [Bible]

I have been at doctors this is why I haven't posted for a long time. I just had my 3rd and 4th MRI on my spinal cord areas and I don't have good news at all!

Well I do Not have good news after my doctors visit today (October 12th, 2004). The Two MRIs I had one for my neck and the other for my lower back.

I just found out that I have a herniated disk in my lower back between L4 - L5, and my neck at which I knew I had is C5 - C6. Doctor Wilson explained to me that my lower ruptured disk (herniation) is very bad and there is not enough room for my spinal cord nerves to go through that part of my L4 -L5 disk. They are going to start me on very light therapy right away, and I see the neurologist again December 1st, 2004 at 11:30AM.

Dr. Wilson is a Very nice doctor and explained my MRI pictures of my neck and lower back in very easy detail so I could understand it. He gave me the MRI pictures and I am going to scan them unto my hard-drive to save.

I know know why I have a hard time sleeping, two herniations in my back are causing me a lot of pain!

From MsKathy one of my moderators at Kristi Ann's Haven........

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'm placing Kristi Ann on the prayer list, but I want to start letter writing, emailing campaign for her benefit.

Kristi was born with a rare disorder in which her breast bone was fused to her backbone. She has several surgeries on her chest. As you can imagine her organs are displaced and she has difficulty breathing. She is often in pain and has difficulty walking without a cane. Kristi still takes time to work on her Christian web forum and she's an inspiration to all who visit KristiAnn's Haven ( http://ka7.proboards30.com/ ). Some days she is in such pain that we do not hear from her.

The obscurity of SSI decisions is that she is not disabled and cannot receive help for her meds (she takes anti-depressants and pain meds)or income. She has not worked nor been able to in over a year. She has written her state rep for help as she has lost her apartment and now lives with a friend who did not want to see her put out on the streets.

I asked Kristi for the address of the Social Security office where she applied and for the local media in her area.
I'm asking that we bombard these places with Kristi's story.
I will look up the TV station addresses on line and list them in this thread. If you should locate them before I do please feel free to post them here. Meanwhile here is the info she was able to give me:

Social Security Office of Portland
2625 S.E. 98th Ave.
Portland, OR 97266

MEDIA
TV Stations:

( http://www.katu.com/ )KATU ABC 2

( http://www.koin.com/ )KOIN CBS 6

( http://www.kgw.com/ ) KGW NBC 8

( http://www.opb.org/ ) OPB Oregon Public Broadcasting

She also gave me this as the name of the Newspaper:

( http://www.oregonlive.com/ )The Oregonian Newspaper

Disability Resources Oregon is the rehab agency. I will be looking for the addresses as well.

Meanwhile, read Kristi's My Story!! at her forum and write to these agencies to help her.

Thanks and stay blessed.

MsKathy

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I just called Oregon Health Plan for my dental and about my two broken moulers I have in the bottom of my mouth. I spoke with a female there and OHP only covers on my plan pulling the teeth and Not fixing them.

This means I CANNOT get my my teeth fixed. :'( :'(

So this throws another bad thingy at me again. My Parents spent thousands of dollars to have my teeth fixed when I was younger. I had Braces on my teeth from jr. high school all the way through high school and 12th grade. I even had to have Orthpaedic Dental Surgery on my mouth as some teeth were below my others in my jaw.....

Depressed and hurting in Oregon!! :'(

Sep 13th, 2004

I am sorry I haven't been around here everyone. :'(

I had my Neurologist appointment today at 8:45AM and just got back home at 8PM. The doctor found out as I already knew, I am right handed and am weaker on my whole right side, my left arm is a lot stronger than my right!! I don't have much feeling on my right side of my body at all. They X-Rayed my neck two side profiles, one back and one right through my mouth. I was shown the X-Rays by the Very nice female X-ray tech. I knew what I had seen before, but now it's worse. Just with X-rays you can clearly see my herniated disk in the upper part of my neck. Now I am going to have my thrid MRI on my neck, then an electrical test with very small needles to test my muscles all over my body. I did NOT take a pain pill (Vicodin) before I seen this very nice Neurologist Doctor. I took one after I left there and another Vicodin pain pill just now at 8:10PM. I cannot even Raise my right arm up very high without it feeling like someone is putting a knife in my shoulder joints, it hurts that much. My room-mate has to help dress me now as I cannot do this for myself to much at all.

So, Please Everyone, DO enjoy Kristi Ann's Haven while I am gone. If you have any questions please do ask anyone of my Moderators and they will help you the best they can. Everyone knows MsGuidedAngel is me KristiAnn the Main Administrator of Kristi Ann's Haven, I am going to go through some Very Stressful tests soon on my entire body. So , please bear with me while I am away!! I hurt a lot in pain, that it tires me out very easy.

I am Severely Disabled and Depressed at the sametime. :'( This is NOT satan doing this, it's how I was born with most all my aliments!! It's no fun being born with a breast bone fused to my back bone. Now I am facing even more surgeries on all my spinal cord areas and chest rib cage areas....

I have another Appointment October 5th, 2004 in Downtown Portland, Oregon for my Third MRI on my neck and after this the same day some sort of electrical test on all my muscles with very small needles. This is to find out why I am loosing my feeling from all my right side and down the middle of my back!

Hurting in Oregon, :'( :'( :'(

Love Always, \o/

I'm placing Kristi Ann on the prayer list, but I want to start a letter writing, emailing campaign for her benefit.

Kristi was born with a rare disorder in which her breast bone was fused to her backbone. She has has several surgeries on her chest. As you can imagine her organs are displaced and she has difficulty breathing. She is often in pain and has difficulty walking without a cane. Kristi still takes time to work on her Christian web forum and she's an inspiration to all who visit KristiAnn's Haven ( http://ka7.proboards30.com/ ). Some days she is in such pain that we do not hear from her.

The obsurdity of SSI decisons is that she is not disabled and cannot receive help for her meds (she takes anti-depressants and pain meds)or income. She has not worked nor been able to in over a year. She has written her state rep for help as she has lost her apartment and now lives with a friend who did not want to see her put out on the streets.

I asked Kristi for the address of the Social Security office where she applied and for the local media in her area.
I'm asking that we bombard these places with Kristi's story.
I will look up the TV station addresses on line and list them in this thread. If you should locate them before I do please feel free to post them here. Meanwhile here is the info she was able to give me:

Social Security Office of Portland
2625 S.E. 98th Ave.
Portland, OR 97266

MEDIA
TV Stations:
KATV Channel 2 ABC
KOIN Channel 6 CBS
KGW Channel 8 NBC
OPB Oregon Public Broadcasting

She also gave me this as the name of the Newspaper:
The Oregonian Newspaper

Disability Resources Oregon is the rehab agency. I will be looking for the addresses as well.

Meanwhile, read Kristi's "My Story" at her forum and write to these agencies to help her.

Thanks and stay blessed.
