You should open your mail!

Funny how important things turn up when you open your mail! Ok - so I'm guilty, I open the fun mail, and leave the rest - guess I should start opening important stuff sooner. :P

First, I received a letter from my life insurance people saying I'm eligible for more life insurance.. yay? So I signed, copied and will send away the papers for that. Now I'm worth more - take notice of that, folks! ;)


Second, I received a stupid letter from the people dealing with my application for the RDSP - registered disability saving plan with grant and bond. If you're in Canada and sick or disabled, you should really look into it (http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/disability_issues/disability_savings/rdsp_you.shtml) and hopefully you'll have better luck with the application process than what I've had! It's been a year or more in the works already! I had applied, everything was going well, then I was informed that my disability tax credit had expired over a year ago. This meant a new application, going to the dr for her to fill out paper work that I had to pay for, then sending in the new papers and more waiting. Once that was done, I found out they didn't believe I was still really sick so they started a review on me! Seriously??! I could have just sent a copy of my recent lab work and they would clearly see that I'm sick!! But no, they sent more paper work to my dr, I had to go back again, I had to pay for her to put 2 x's in boxes and write 3 lines of text, and sign her name twice! Then wait some more. Apparently I was approved again for the tax credit, however now they won't communicate that to the RDSP people and so my application is held up again. :( Now I've lost out on about $5000 that could have been MINE! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised - this is the government that I'm speaking about - they'll do anything to not give out money!

Thirdly, I received release forms from my drs office to sign.. although I did open this before! But anyways, she's helping me to get my records and disks from two hospitals. That will take off the burden a fair bit and it'll be good that she has everything too. She didn't have anything of mine from before I came to her. 


Fourth - I got an appointment date for the 3T MRI! It pays to have brain problems.. you don't have to wait as long for MRI's of the brain! When people say they've waiting months and months to get an MRI, I always suggest a brain tumor to remedy the problem! ;) Just kidding!

So.. lesson is.. Open your mail!
