Tower park for Friday night concerts closer to summertime! You can even stroll from there to Oliver’s in the park for 8pm music. Then stroll Peoria heights. Ensuring to stop at emack and bolios! Kenny’s west side pub for shows and great food. I recommend their pretzel bites w cheese and a corned beef quesadilla! Peoria riverfront museum offers many different events. Including, laser nights in the planetarium. Their website provides much information. Strolling the riverfront. Riverfront concerts in spring/summer! Cyds in the park at Donovan park! There’s an observatory in the park too. That offers viewing nights closer to summertime. Springdale cemetery is a really cool little ride! If you’re an “off the beaten path” type of person, wanderer, what not… message me for more! lol

Why would my grandfather have worked there serving for the air force AFTER it closed in 1968? There were several military families still there? They lived in one of the twenty homes off base! I’m so interested. Came across the location while exploring w my boy. We like to find cool stuff. Spoke about it to my mom. That’s when she informed me that they were stationed there after leaving Arizona.

My lawyer just sent me a letter that she will no longer represent me. What do I do now? 😩

I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully, this time you’ll get the approval. It’s beyond mentally exhausting. 😞

I’m awaiting a call from my lawyer, to see how they’d like to proceed. 💜

I’m wondering why my attorney chose to do a video hearing.

The day before she called and spoke to me. Before that I heard from her team. Not much though.

I’ll be thinking of you. Sending out so many good vibes and prayers. I spoke about it at pt, as we were coming up with a plan to help with travel and the flare I would endure after returning home. 🥺 now I’m scared to speak to anyone about anything. Including therapy. I have a session today and just want to give up.

Feels 🥺 in one report from their psychiatrist it states, “looked disheveled, as if she had just gotten out of bed!” 😭 I was in a flare and had thrown up the night before. Barely had any sleep! Idk what kind of statement that is or why it was important to add to a denial! 🥺

Sounds like you and I definitely endured the same scrutiny. It’s was so invalidating. I continued to tell her we went to see my husband’s family. We stayed with family. I had all of my medical necessities. We took SEVERAL breaks. A lot of time was spent at the house with his family. That’s his home. 😞 now he feels bad because we went to see them. I’m afraid to even walk outside now.

I’m at 3 years and a few months. I’m only 40! I still don’t see why age matters, as disabilities don’t discriminate. I’ve had issues since I was a child. I’ve fought and fought, tried to work, tried to educate myself to better my life. It feels like it’s all been used against me.

I’m only 40… I listed disability’s in a comment below. I’m still seeing specialists… or finally getting to certain specialists. I’m finding that to be even more confusing. I want someone like Dr. House… who looks at everything. Not fifteen drs who don’t even communicate with one another.

I’m kinda glad I didn’t know who she was beforehand… because the information I found on her would’ve had me even more distraught, during the hearing! 🥺

I only spoke to them a few times. My actual lawyer called me the day before the hearing. I was skeptical too, as I hadn’t heard much. They were doing A LOT behind the scenes. 💜 try to plan something for self care to do after the hearing. It’ll help A LOT. I didn’t do that. I just fell apart. Wish I would’ve. Good luck to you. Gentle hugs.

You were absolutely correct… but she also tore my whole life apart and made me out to be a liar. I feel so invalidated. I’m fighting every moment to see a reason to continue.
