winter or spring

[Guest guest]

I was thinking about this last night, maybe after reading too many of

your posts, but I was scheduling myself for both hips surgery at the

end of October.

I am a woman, 54, live alone, in NY, where the winters are very snowy

and I live in a rural area. I was wondering if this was a good idea

for me, or if I should just postpone the surgery a few more months

(I've waited this long) until May, when the snow and mud are gone). I

was hoping for some feedback from people who decided about when to

have surgery based on the season.

Also, I only get paid when I work. So I do need to get disability

assistance. Has anyone had any experience with this, getting SSD or

SSI, and how did it go?

Rethinking my options, Jess
