Well, it's now offical. This afternoon I received the denial on my appeal to the Soc. Sec. Administration. Although my attorney told me to expect this, I was still very upset. I guess I'd secretly hoped I would get my disability without having to go through the process of a hearing. Monday I'll call my lawyer and see if he received his copy of my denial. Then I guess we'll try to set a date in front of a judge for a hearing on this matter. One way or another, I'll be glad when this is all over.
