I've been approved for help to get new hearing aids!! OMG!! I'm sooooo excited!! I can't wait to get them!! I'm sooooo dancing right now!!!! Remember 2 summers ago, I had ran over my other pair. I needed a moment's break from them and put them in my purse then they fell out of my purse without my knowledge. We looked for them for weeks to no avail till one day hubby was outside and found them smashed to bits and pieces and told me about it. That's when I cried and cried. I was so broken up over it! One thing led to another and we finally found someone that could help us. A long story short, hubby had just retired from the military and we couldn't make ends meet so he had to take on a job. The job was too hard on his body in which he had to quit. At the same time, he was trying to get disability through the military and has gotten it from 80% to 90% but needs 100% because it has many more benefits but the military is fighting him tooth and nail. (yeah, our government can't take care of their own but they sure give it all to the illegal immigrants.) Anyway, the help we found wanted a copy of our tax return. If we had given them a copy of our tax return, we wouldn't have qualified for the help because hubby was working last year, he hadn't worked since December so things weren't the same as last year. That's what aggravates the hell out of me, a tax return doesn't tell about the present, things can and do change from year to year. The present is what matters! Soooo we had to wait to do a new tax return which shows exactly our situation for it's not changed from last year and we knew we'd qualify. So hubby did our tax return and then faxed it in to the company who's providing the help and we just got a phone call saying that I was approved!! I'm approved!! I'm getting new hearing aids!!!!!! OMG!! If you only knew how much this means to me!!!!!! I'm so excited that I'm dancing in this chair!!!!! It will be sooooo much better for me because my mom is such a soft talker and I can't hear her most times and almost always have to ask her to repeat what ever she's said and it's frustrating to me but now I'm getting new hearing aids!!!!! I can't believe it!! It's finally happening!! Yesssss, I'll be most careful this time so please don't get on me about that, it was an accident, nothing more and nothing less so let that one go before you start.... Just be happy for me!! Be happy with me!! OMG!! I'm so estatic!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you gabs!! I am so excited so happy!! I hope the string of good luck continues on but even if it doesn't, I'm happy with it now!! I hope I don't sound like I'm rubbing it in anybody's faces for I'm not at all, I'm just excited about it really happening and not rubbing it in. As you already know, I've had a string of bad luck, actually more than a string of it that finally something good has happened that I want to scream above the roof tops and tell anybody and everybody who'll listen!! I'm just over the moon!

I am happy for you! You must have been so upset when your husband discovered your hearing aids all smashed up! Sometimes stuff happens and it feels like the world is ending especially when one thing after another goes wrong. Isn't red tape annoying? I am happy it worked out for you; it sounds as though you deserve a break! I hope your husband feels better and that things continue on a positive note for both of you. When you get your hearing aids put on some music and dance! Enjoy your life!

Thank you!! Yes I was completely devastated when they were crushed that I cried for days and then to have to figure out how to cut the red tape was exhausting because so many things had happened where I needed my hearing aids so badly but thanks to my hubby being there to help me, I made it through and now I'm getting new hearing aids!! Yippeeeeee!

Hi catsanddogs. Even our govt seem to have money to help illegal immigrants but does not have enough money to help his own people and do proper roads. I am glad that you will have a new hearing aid soon. I hope that this helps you and havea better quality of life.

What country are you from? It is sad that our governments would care for illegal immigrants more than they do their own. You'd think it would be the other way around. Thank you for your kind words, I'm very excited and can't wait to get them so I can hear again!

I am glad to hear things are working out for you. You are so right. Tax returns tell about the past and not the present.

Thank you royal!! You are so right, it does tell about the past, it doesn't say what the present situation is but try telling these block heads! lol The long wait was awful but I survived it thanks to hubby being my ears when I needed them most or I'd have been somewhere without a paddle a long time ago. I'm so excited that I can't sit still!! lol

CONGRATULATIONS!!!![i][/i][u][/u]
I know you are ecstatic and I can't blame you one bit!!
I hope your other situation gets resolved soon too, Your hubby gets his disability
You'd think since he was in the military they would speed up his process and not jerk him around like they do us, like when I applied for mine years ago;
I swear the hoops they make us all jump through is just UN FRIGGIN REAL!!!
Every year there still is the continuous paperwork on it all...hate it!!!
but what are ya gonna do right?
good luck to you both!!

THANK YOU!!!! Gosh if you could see me now!! I'm so on cloud 10!! lol I'm just so excited and sooo happy to know that I'll be getting them and real soon too!! This long wait is almost over!! YIPPEEEE!!
I agree about the military and like I said, you'd think they'd care for their own but they don't. It's really sad and so unfair but we're not going to give up because hubby is going to get what's due him one way or another and we'll keep fighting until he does. Thank you!! Good luck to you too!!

Thank you bfarrier!! I'm so happy that I've worn myself out today! lol But it's a good wore out though, meaning from a good thing. I know I'll sleep like a baby tonight with a huge smile on my face! lol
I was here two years ago but not under the best of circumstances though and it was awful so I changed my name and cancelled my old account even though it's still there. RealDeal was my old name but the account is closed but the discussions are still there but I don't make anything off of them anymore which is fine too. I have this account and it's working out very well. I've made some wonderful friends here including YOU and I'm happy. Hope you have a great night too!!
