Okay, it was brought to my attention that I haven't updated since Mr C's hearing on his disability. He won but we won't br seeing any of the money for it until February. That's cool though. It means as soon as we have official word of the verdict Mr C can start re-training.
The whole ting did depress him some. The judge asked him some questions and then officially stated the medical limitations of his issues. "He can't see out of one eye and he's 20/1000 in the other with gaps and holes in the vision. He's had multiple retinal detachments so his ability to due heavy labor is limited due to risk of further detachments." He then asked the expert from the Labor Department if the were any jobs that Mr C could do and the Labor guys said "no, there are no jobs in segnificant numbers that he could do." It's no wonder Mr C got a bit depressed. He's always prided himself on his ability to care for his family.
He's better now, though. The prospect of re-training is making him happy. That's always a good thing.
Beyond that the weekend was the same as always. I have to work on Thanksgiving day (Thursday for all my non-US friends) but I have enough time before work to take Mr C and Alex to the inlaws. They may have to stay the night
We did have a bit of a scare though. The police showed up at the front door on Friday asking to talk to Alex. It seems a girl is missing and the vice-principle at his old school says she has "reliable information" that she'd be at our house with Alex. Alex doesn't know the girl other than to point her out in the school photos and she's never ever been to the house. They think Alex might be involved. No word on if they've found her yet. I'm very worried how this will turn out and why Alex's name came up. I'll keep you informed of any developments in this.
