Incap Medical Appeal

Had my appeal hearing today, and to say i was nervous is an understatement!

Got there at 10:30am, along with Womble, and met my legal representative there as well.

Had a chat, then had to wait to be called in. I was shaking whilst waiting, and more so when called in.

There was a lawyer and doctor there to ask the questions, and to explain what was going on. Both nice people, plain talking, and i would say good at there job.
Was asked a few questions about my daily routine ( i dont have one) about how i sleep (badly) and what i liked to do with my free time.

Answered as best as i could, and didnt hold anything back.

It was a lot shorter than i expected, and then had to leave for the doctor and lawyer to discuss what they had heard, and to make a decision.

After a very short time, i was called back in, and told that my appeal had been successful, and that all benefits would be awarded me again.

So, there it is. What i told them, and i knew all along. I'm not fit for full time employment at this moment in time.

NOW......

This does not mean i wanna sit on my arse all day watching dvd's and playing on the internet.

What it does mean is that i can now get a damn sight more help, training and advise about a gradual return to work. I do believe that the system is flawed, as if i had lost, i would have had to sign on, be forced to take a job i dont want to do, and this would have started the whole process of depression, stress and all the other systems off again !

I dont feel good for winning my appeal, nor sad. At the moment all i feel is numb.

If it was not for Womble's help, support and belief in me, I would not have done half the things i have, nor got as far as i have.

So, to end on a positive note, Womble, thank you, for all you have done for a poor messed up Pikey xXx

Mystery Solved, No Pixie's Involved !!

It seems that the couple next door were taking in there washing, just as it started to rain, seen my maiden out, so lifted the fence panel, and took it in there kitchen too stop it getting soaked !

Many thanks to the kind people next door :oD

Tell ya wot though, it didnt do much for my state of mind that day ! LOL

OH well, just proves there are still good folk in this world, and no doubt the evil Pixies are still planning against me :op

Theving Pixies !!

Thats the only choice i have.

The reason for this post is that I've been having a bad day today. Feeling very shaky, not able to focus, and generally feeling very twitchy.

Now, im sure i put the drying out this morning on the Maiden, in the back garden, nothing strange there, as it was a nice sunny day :o)

As my head was well and truly fucked, i had a quick nap to try to sort it out. It didnt work, and so i was still a bit fuzzy. Then, it started to rain, so i thought i best bring in the drying...... It was gone !!

Now, i looked round the garden, checked the gates, yup, still locked, looked in the shed and the garage, nope, its gone !

Now I'm beginning to lose the plot even more, so i contact Womble on MSN, she's not sure where it was last, but says it'll turn up !

So, i therefore believe it's the work of the Pikey Pixies, and when i get the little buggers, i want all my stuff back, as my new Craghopper trousers are on there, along with my fave black shirt !

Wonder if sprinkling iron fillings around will thwart there damn magic.................

I'm gonna sit in the corner now and hug n rock myself, and maybe dribble a little...
