I saw that there were 100 Haitians on that boat down in Florida. This really upsets me every time I see this in the news. I feel that if they want to come to the US they need to do it right and go through the proper channels to get here.
What bothers me is that they get here and are most likely going straight to the hospital to receive free health care. Now that is a huge problem for me because there are what @ 75 % (that number is a guess) of Americans who don't have any insurance and have to pay for these huge bills. That is just down right ridiculous. I saw on the news here yesterday where a farmer lost both his legs in a farming accident and he said that he had to cancel his insurance because it was costing him over a $1000 a month. We all know that it's not cheap but when people who come here illegal and get taken care of better by our government than we do. Tell me that is just wrong. Think about many come in every year and how much this costs us in taxes that should be going to our people who need it.
It's also bad enough that we spend so much money on other countries and then they want to blame us for everything. I think that they should be sent back to there home country no matter what.

Social Security
I am pissed that I got denied once again. They are trying to say that I can still work in a non strenuous and low stress job. Hmmm Now I can tell you that if my pain levels were down by a factor of 5, I might be able to do it. Unfortunately I don't see that happening any time soon. It is bad enough that the first time they denied me they had one of my surgery dates wrong on the paper that they sent to tell me that they denied me. So when I asked about it I got told that it was just a typo and I shouldn't worry about it. Now I have had 3 back surgeries and they were in '98, '02, and '06. They had '88, '02, and '06. To me that is a huge difference. I plan on appealing the decision again.
I mean if I did try to go back to work, I would really love to actually, my job search would be very, very specific. There would be very few of these jobs available. Then it would come down to whether I was qualified or not. I would need skills that I don't have. I hate it because I miss work. I hate the fact that I am disabled. I walk with a cane because I have weakness in my legs and I fear that I will fall down and get hurt worse or end up not being able to move. I have been laid up in bed and not being able to move hardly because of the pain. Having to crawl to the bathroom and hope that I can get up to go. I would never wish this upon my worst enemy because I would feel like I was just being too cruel. I almost would rather have no feeling at all. So at least I wouldn't feel all of this pain all the time.
What it wrong with our government?? I mean I have a lot of documentation showing whats wrong and that it would be far too difficult to find work. If I was trying to commit fraud I would have already been approved. It always seems that those who are scamming the government always get the money. I have fought with this injury for 10 1/2 years. Believe me it has been one long ass road. I don't want to have to get a lawyer. I don't want them taking a 1/3 of what I get. It is money that I need to pay bills that are so far behind. I think the damn politicians need to start giving the poor people on disabilities some of there money.

Migraine
Man have I got one. It went away for a little bit early this afternoon but now it's back with a vengeance. I have had this one for three days now except for the little break I had earlier. I have taken my medicine for it and it still has not touched it. No over-the-counter pills work on me anymore. I may have to call my doctor tomorrow morning to let them know and see if there is anything that can be done. I have had a CTScan and it came back negative. I also went on WebMD and used the symptoms checker but got a lot of different options. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have too many problems already and I don't need to be adding to it. Any ideas of something that will help make this migraine go away would be greatly appreciated.
My first post
Well this is my first blog. So I will be going slow at first so I can read other blogs to get an idea of what to talk about. Right now I have no idea of what to talk about. I am sure that it won't last long before I get this all figured out.
