What to do, what to do...

I'm on the verge of applying for federal disability benefits.

Let's be honest, my body is a wreck. Just looking for work exhausts me. I have my good days where I'm ready to take on the world... then two days later it's all I can do to eat and sit at the computer. The epilepsy isn't going anywhere, and even the Trileptal has nasty side effects. Getting a dispatch job would be good.. the constant input would keep me sharp, but until then?

I don't dare work alone or outside. Security is out. And the only thing I've every been any bloody good at is driving - and I can't do that anymore! So maybe I should apply for the disability and see what happens.

waffle.

I'd just like to state again that cancer fucking sucks. No, this has not been one of my better days.

Mucho *hugs*, hon. Mind if I add your name to my candle for Good Things to come your way?

Thank you, I alway accept help of that nature. During my chemotherapy, I actually had my name mentioned in prayers by churches ranging from ultra liberal to an evangelical Pentecostal group. Must have confused the heck out of the Cosmic records office.

Good luck...

btw, if it helps, my mom (I think I remember mentioning her to you, she was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago last spring) went through the disability process this summer, and got approved on the first shot in the fastest time I have ever seen the SSA work. The word 'cancer' seemed to help a lot apperantly, but it may have specifically be the type she had...so, good luck, I think your odds are decent, and if you get denied the first time, appeal!
