Question Finally movin in S.S. but swamped in Paperwork

so I trot out to the mailbox in my barefeet, getting all wet and muddy, and open the box and had one of those...Wow..I was just complaining about this 15 minutes ago...Then I discovered not 1 envelope from my lawyer but 2...and they are THICK. So I trot back in b/c it is damn cold and raining. First one I open says RE: Your Disability Hearing FINALLY coming. Then the letter was full of instructions not the least of which was to call the paralegal tomorrow and go through all the items of evidence piece by bloody piece. (they have 37 pieces of evidence, one of which is 132 pages long...) The second envelope was from SS only with a letter from lawyer saying to be cautious in how I answer. hmm. Ok. Thanks for the anxiety provoking thoughts as I try to honestly but cautiously, respond to their questions. Now, they want me to go back 10 years. 10 YEARS. MY youngest, who is currentlyon the couch picking something I do want know what, had me trying to get her to eat strained apricots or some such nasty stuff. I have had so much stuff happen to me in 10 years I don't remember where when and who did what....(I have NO idea who the emergency doc was who did my appendectomy in 99 and I can't remember the name of the old geezer who took a chunk of my collar bone and restructured my left ankle in 98....GIMME a break. He's retired.) I do know the doc who has done all my pelvic surgeries (except my appy) .....What do I do That was a lifetime ago.
