Guest guest Posted July 14, 2000 Report Share Posted July 14, 2000 First of all, I'm at work and my internet connection at home went down on Tuesday and won't be back up till Monday. Grrrrr. I have suffered so much more fatigue lately than in the past. It used to be a periodic day of rest here or there, but lately it's been two days at a time, more seemingly once or twice a week. I work part- time three mornings each week, and am missing quite a few days, but they are paid sick days. It's just so frustrating for the boss and myself. We need the income. I don't get any benefits at my job. I also do massage therapy part-time, but have been cutting back considerably, again due to the fatigue. My first question is about filing for disability if my Dr., whom I see next week, okays it. I don't know what to expect as far as pay goes, or the pros and cons of doing this. I know that I have to quit work first before I file, and then if accepted it would be from 3 to 6 months retroactive on pay. And if I'm rejected? Geez, we could go bankrupt in those few months. What a gamble. Grrrrr. About live donors. How far along with PSC do you need to be? and what blood type does the donor need to be. For example, I'm O neg. Does my donor need to be O or O neg? It seems a live donor would be the much better route to go since you may not have to wait so long and have possible complications such as cancer set in. And if you don't have a live donor, how long do you have to wait to be listed. My Dr. may have the answers to some of these questions, but I'm chomping at the bit, even tho I may have to wait until Monday to get any answers. I'm so thankful for this group. I am learning so much. God bless! Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
