Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 When it arrived though, I started to cry. It only got worse when I realized that they had fully approved my application to the extent that they had given me full approval for rides anywhere as long as I gave them 24 hours notice. As I said in my talk with Tricia, it was like the good news was that they had validated my having a disability and the bad news was that they had validated my having a disability. I guess I'm in a place right now where nothing feels like good news. Just so hard, these days. Barbara, I think we all hit a place when you are faced with the fact that this disease is a disability, mine was when I got my walker, but for my husband was when the neighbor built me a ramp so I can get into my house easier. I know it is hard to have to except it, I guess this all happened so fast for me that the excepting wasn't as hard as it is for you, because you have had it for a while and were able to hold on to your career. I could only work for six months before the pain was too much and it was almost a relief to not have to go to work and come home take my pain pills and crash out, I didn't have the energy or the stamina to do anything else. I still don't but now I know what it is. I hope I am making sense if I am not then you can e-mail me. I overdid for 2 days and now I am paying the price hard today.
