My Trip To Iowa City,Iowa

[stevechurch2222]

Today I went to Iowa City for tests on my back,hopefully it will get my social security.X rays revealed that I have a bone in my lower back that isn't fully grown,it's been that way since my teens or earlier.Also I have arthritis in my back,that is causing the pain along with the bone that isn't fully grown.I don't know if that will be enough to obtain my disability,but I am hopeful it will be.It is hard to sit or stand for more than 20-30 minutes at any one time,and I can't do any heavy lifting or stooping or streaching.While there in Iowa City we saw 2 Iowa Interstate trains that had 6 engines on one train and 2 on the other.First train was about 60 cars long and the second 70 cars longs.Both trains were going west.The wife and I are hoping I get approved for my disability this time.We are keeping our fingers crossed.

Steve, good luck with Social Security. I've been out of work since May 06 with a ruptured disc, and had a fusion, now going for a second fusion, and still fighting with SS.
People who claim to have mental poblems can get SS but folks who have physical proof, have to fight for it.
But, I hope for the best for you.

Thanks,Through Breed.I know what you mean.I found out that since the judge ruled on my case in December 2007 that i will lose all my back pay from Jan 2003 to December 13,2007.That's there rules.
