It was all I could do to not blow up. Just being in a mobility device doesn't mean you are too disabled to work. It was a heart breaking day when I had to go on SSDI...18yrs at that job, every one of them while I had MS. I loved it, but my body let me know when it was over, I wanted to go out at the top of my game, not just showing up for a check, which I am sure they would have done.

By the end of the first week, I was picking up random household projects because I was starting to get stir crazy. By the end of the third week I could barely wait to get back to work I was so sick of being bored and sick. I would have been crawling the walls if it had gone on much longer. Nevermind how much I hated feeling helpless and useless.<br /><br />I'm glad you aren't letting people tell you whether or not you're an invalid; you aren't scooting over and letting somebody else drive. Though I don't know, you may have had a little too much self-control. Actually setting her on fire with your eyes could have been an excellent learning experience for everybody.Petri Dishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420251599278424280noreply@blogger.com
