I got a call from my private disability insurance company today.  The reinstated my claim and will begin paying me again.  I am also getting all the back pay that they owe me since they denyed my claim.

Yay!

I was warned, however, that they may still fight it, and to be prepared.

But for the moment… I’m a very happy monkey!

On a side note, for those of you who said you’d send me a letter about your impressions of what I went through at work, I still need them.  The letters are for my Social Security Disability hearing.

Dear Door to Door Salesperson:

I understand that you’re trying to make a living, win a trip to Europe, or just get credit for showing me your offerings, but I’m not interested.

I do not want to buy your magazines, security system, satellite system, lawn care (did you not notice that I don’t have a lawn?!?), vacuum cleaners, or other various cleaning products.  If I wanted them, I would have already purchased them.

Why do you think that by ringing my doorbell while I’m trying to take a nap would make me suddenly reach for my checkbook?  It didn’t.  Instead, it made me reach for my size 13 Dr. Martins.

Did you not read the sign on my door? (shown above) Was the wording too complex?  Were you not able to decipher my cryptic meaning from the image??  Perhaps you are just so eager to sell your fine product that you either didn’t see my sign, or you thought I was joking.

I assure you, I was not joking.

I am more than willing to kick your junk so hard that you’ll be coughing up chunks of it for the next two weeks.  My Dr. Martins will leave a criss-crossed pattern so deeply entrenched in your groin that it’ll look like a swollen and purple billboard for Der Waffle Haus!

Choose life!

Sincerely,

Tone Parsons

Today’s post is brought to you by morphine and the number 42.

That’s right kids… I’m 42 years old as of today!  yippy for me!!

I didn’t even realize that it was October until this morning when I was paying a credit card bill online.  So far, I’ve gotten a call from my sister and an email from my mom.

So… to celebrate, I think I’ll take a nap

I have a few calls into my disability insurance company.  As of yet, my claim manager hasn’t returned my calls, so there’s no news as of right now.

They were supposed to have come up with a decision on my case by the 28th of this month.  There are only 3 reasons I can think of why they haven’t notified me:

1. My claims manager is either sick or out of the office.
2. The decision hasn’t been made yet
3. They denied my appeal, sent a letter, and my claims manager doesn’t want to talk to me.

I’m hoping it’s one of the first two.

Again, I’ll let you know if I hear anything.  The waiting is driving me a little nuts.

UPDATE 11:14 am

I got a call back from my claim manager.  The reason she didn’t get back to me yesterday was both #1 and #2 from the list above.

She stated that they “should” have the decision made by the end of next week.

Keeping my fingers crossed!
