Donica,
I have a different image of the goings on at SS. I picture a whole crew walking out the door to the cafeteria for a cup of coffee to take with them out the back door to the smoking area. Fifteen to twenty minutes later they will all parade back in to tell each of us that was put on hold whatever it is they think will get us to move along.
I guess after the umpteenth call I am getting a bit cynical.

@Stevi Dear Stevi:I am so sorry to hear of the difficulties that you are encountering with your home and local area relevant to the storm and subsequent damage that it has caused.
All of that came on the heels of your lovely Anniversary trip with your wife... at least that went very well as you reported.... and your pictures were wonderful for your followers to see.
Now... regarding Social Security.... as we all know, no matter where we live or what government agencies we try to deal with, the wheels of Government bureaucracy and red-tape not only can move very slowly, but many times seem to run backwards. Patience is definitively required.... I am always stuck on hold on the phone with different government offices, sometimes for an hour or more just to find out that I have reached the wrong department. This kind of thing even spills over when dealing with private businesses such as the phone company, doctor offices, insurance companies, the cable television company, the utility companies, bank services, etc. ....
I always love the phone announcement, "your call is important to us...." and the fact that I am stuck talking to a computer voice and can never talk to a real person many times.
I feel your pain, I trust that you can get everything in order.
Hugs,
Danielle
