Changes

Just had my phone call with the lawyer, they told me the process for disability will take around 4-5 months, and I might have to go up against a medical board who will determine whether I qualify for it or not. If I'm denied twice by them, then I would have to go up against a judge. I have another phone call tomorrow around 11am.

As this is proceeding, my friends are sending me photos of their exhibitions, final projects, and articles they've written for their final projects in college. The stark contrast between what they're doing, and I'm doing is drastic. As the days go on it's becoming clearer to me that I'm not going to come out of this the way I had hoped a year ago. It was better in way, we didn't know what was wrong but there was still the hope that we'd figure it out and I would feel fine in a few months, that I'd go back to work and finish my degree.

One of my friends is moving to Texas in a few weeks, and another just got a job offer. He'll probably be out of the state by the end of the month. I'm about to be all alone here, and I don't know if I'll be able to cope.
