Hey guys! Been a while. I got sick again, lost my job, been kind-of bed ridden, got better, got sick again, really bad sinus infection. Haven't stopped thinking of making the guy I wanted to make and post. Still sick. Don't know if I will ever finish what I started but I got out Animation Master v13 and did some work in it. Here is what I have so far: Now all I have to do is to overlay the skeleton with the image I want. So off to Photoshop. :-) Hopefully I will feel well enough long enough to do this. :-)

Thanks. I'm trying to get on with SSDI. I think I'm no longer able to work for long periods of time anymore. When I got gangrene two years ago I almost died and it seems to have taken a lot out of me. Since November I'll be doing something and the next thing I know I'm waking up from having fallen asleep. A very strange thing for me.

I think that would be strange for anyone. You should keep at this, when you have the energy, because this is a kind of pose I have never seen before in paper mini's.

Best advice I can give you: Get a lawyer who specializes in SSI & SSDI to help you fill out the paperwork before you turn it in (if you haven't already), it's what I did and I was cleared and accepted within 2 months time. They said they had never seen it happen faster. I understand out frustrating it can be. At first glance, people think I'm fine, but I have a bad back, a bad shoulder, a bad hip, a bad knee and I've had 4 heart operations (3 of those in the last 7 years. I tend to fall asleep anywhere & at anytime. It's embarrassing, especially when it happens on the bus and you've missed your stop. So, I focus on things that keep me healthy and make me happy, like this hobby and my wonderful husband!

Welcome back I too live with a chronic illness and I'm supported by an Invalids pension. Fatigue is something I live with every day and very much know what it's like to suddenly fall asleep without warning. Recently I fell asleep holding a cup of tea and spilled it over myself which actually failed to wake me so I can very much empathise with you. Paper modelling helps to keep my brain working and it makes me happy, so do please keep working on your project as creative hobbies are very therapeutic for anyone who lives with an illness.

To: Cowboyland: Thanks. :-) He is going to have a dagger in his hands (actually a root dagger - a dagger made from a root)
Dungeonmistress: I am going through a company in Utah called Cardon Outreach which specializes in this. Friday I went to see the doctor the Social Security office asked me to go see. After seeing everything he thinks I'll get it. But not when I will get it.
Wildagreenbough: Yeah, I'm not as bad an a different friend. She has lupus, fibromialgha (spelling?, and a few other things wrong with her. Sadly, this last March we had all gone to a small sci-fi convention. She stood up and just fell over. She had passed out, knocked over her chair, and impaled herself on one of the legs of the chair. The emergency people came and took her to a hospital where they induced a coma. She is awake again but it has been three months. Next to her problems - mine are nothing. But I will keep working on this project. Thanks for posting! :-)

I was a social security claims rep and supervisor before I retired. I took about ten thousand claims and ssi determinations. The biggest problem I saw with disability claims for people genuinely disabled was with their doctors who had no incentive to reply to requests for medical records. Many people were denied because their doctors never responded or sent incomplete records. Talk to ALL your doctor's (and the office managers) to let them know you're filing. If possible, get your records and take them to your local office. Then follow up with the doctors.

That's probably why I was cleared so quickly (2 months!), I have some really great doctors who have gone to bat for me more than once.
