Dawn, I had no idea about your bankruptcy, you poor thing, you certainly

have a heap to deal with. My business is an optical shop - we do eye

testing and make spectacles and it is quite a successful little enterprise

and has kept us in food and rent. I started it ten years ago (I am an

optician) and since I became sick has taken it over as he is an

orthoptist or ophthal technician so is also in the eye business. We also

have three part-time staff. Thanks so much for your kind words about my

successful insurance claim, I hope you get your through soon too.

I am behind with my post reading but you still don't sound too good. Have

you got that cane yet? Sounds like an excellent start but I really hope all

of this pain goes away for you soon.

Take care of yourself.

Hi Dawn, My, your rent is SO cheap! I was going to say that you are very

lucky but there is certainly nothing lucky about not having your own place,

I know! At least, though, it isn't crippling you like our rent has been. I

hope everything works out with your disability claim soon and that your MLA

gets his act together soon. Just keep hassling.

Yes, I am fortunate with my business and it looks now as though we won't

have to sell it and can continue to run it, as we need an income. That

was the worry if we sold it, would be able to get a job at the age of

49! Anyway, it looks like it is all working out. It is in a shop in a

shopping centre (outdoor type, not a mall) and we pay a large rent there as

it is a good spot. ($3500/month!) It holds its own but not when we have to

take the home rent, my medical bills and 's college fees out of it!

Anyway, I know things will get better for you soon. I agree, maybe the pred

was reduced too quickly for you. That can make you feel really bad I

believe. Keep on at your docs!

Take care, Lesley
