I've been hearing impaired since age three and ran into plenty of opposition before I considered myself disabled from very ignorant people. After getting more obvious physical disabilities and MI, trying to go back to work has been a nightmare and I do know what you are talking about. I wasn't putting you down or thinking you are taking the "easy" way out. There is nothing easy about living on SSDI/ SSI. Those that say that, do not have a clue. I do truly wish you the best of luck.

Ok--I see what you are saying. And I have tried to put it off--but now my buying power is nill anyway because I haven't had a job in over a year. But you did make a good point. I'm sorry for being so defensive.
