Like you, I rely on my faith and prayers. I will be praying for you for relief of your pain and getting disability. From what I understand, often you are turned down the first time but always try again and that is usually successful so continue to pursue it. Years ago I had a year like yours - in a 13 month period I had ankle tendon surgery, open heart surgery for a blown mitral valve, a blood clot in my leg, a breast biopsy (my 6th) and abdominal oophorectomy for suspected ovarian cancer. I’m a senior now and what is giving me hope for my PN is knowing that things always turn around. That year taught me that. Reflecting on that helps me to realize that one day I’ll get through this trial too. And so will you. Prayers going your way.
