I've used up all my extension. Online CEUs are possible but I need more than CEUs because it has been more than 5 years since I did a treatment. At their discretion I would need to do supervised hours (which I'm not well enough to do) or re-take my board exam (no way could I pass that again 16 years later; I know nothing about peds at this point and I have memory issues that would make me struggle with the areas I do know). And even if I did everything required and renewed the license realistically there is little chance I'll use it.

I had to really consider this because I'm afraid that with the threatened cuts to SSDI or potentially to Medicare that I might need to work and I can't imagine doing anything else. But I'm not capable of working no matter what happens at this point and I need to accept that. If something happens and I can work I have the ability to go through a reinstatement process then.
