Hi Barbara,

I also thank the Powers That Be for this group. Two years ago I lived in South

Sacramento near Elk Grove, the Pocket area & Land Park Zoo. Now I'm in the

sville & Yuba City area just south of Chico. My brother lived in Citrus

Heights & Carmichael for about 20 years. I have family in Roseville &

Sacramento. Small world, isn't it?

I know how hard it is to deal with an ill or disabled husband plus your own pain

& ongoing pathologies. I had to caregive mine for 5 years as his

Dementia/Alzheimer's progressed along with his spinal stenosis/disc hernias from

a work related accident. Though he was worse off physically than I was, still I

wasn't in any condition to be anybody's caregiver for I needed one myself most

days. He died 3 years ago of pneumonia, cancer & dementia. Now I'm alone &

dealing with my own pain & trying to keep on keepin' on. Muddling through mostly

now.

Blessings,

Caroline

You poor kid, I am so sorry for your trouble.

Have to tell you about my daughter. Same situation as yours. Wrong desk, chair

and key board height. Result...FMS. She also has bilateral constriction in

both of her shoulders and collar bone. She is disabled too and sueing her

former employer cause they fired her from her job the minute she came back from

the local Medhelp.

I feel so sorry for her, she was making 80,000./ yr. Boy, has her live changed.

You are applying for Social Security? Good. Just be sure to keep track of

everything that you do and is done to you. I got mine in 5 months. I was about

knocked off my feet, still can't believe it. Hang in there girl. Take care and

try to feel better. donna
