I am so sorry, friend. Our lives are not so very different. I too, have worked all my life, only to become seriously disabled and am now approaching three years awaiting disability. My neurologist advises soft foods, oxygen and mobility assistance - either a cane or walker, and assures me that any physical exertion can be the end. But there are no options without SSDI and so I work, feeling my life slip away daily.

Your comments mean a lot and gave me some hope, thank you for this.
It saddens me that you have to go through all that you are going through. It's so not fair. You, I and others like us should not have to perform circus acts to get what we are rightfully entitled to. They pretty much told me that I needed to be terminal before they would even consider disability for me. Isn't heart failure and vascular disease terminal? I replied I will have my husband send them a copy of the death certificate if they so wished. I oh so secretely wished that they would have found another aneurysm waiting to explode the other day. No more worries.
I am sorry to hear all that you are enduring. You are a strong individual and I hope and pray that soon and very soon you get your disability. I assume you are taking care of yourself as best you can, but please take extra percaution if exertion can be the end.
I don't understand at all. Why would they do this? Why must we be at our last hope, why destutue before getting the help we need?
I'm trying as best as I know how but is clearly apparent that I have no other choices? It's like when I kept telling doctors something was wrong with me and they replied it's all in my head and that they found nothing wrong, then bam! six months later, KA_BOOM! went my head....well, they were wrong.
On a lighter note, shouldn't you be posting the next chapter

A guestion for Daniel; when should we fight and when should we walk away?
