Tawnya, sweetie, you just don't know how much I wish I could resign from my job. The main thing that keeps me working is insurance and medical bills. It is very hard for a Fibromyalgia patient to get disability. I think they have to be almost bedfast. Also, you have to go like 6 months without doing any work and I can't afford to do that without any income coming in on my part. Also, you are automatically denied the first time you appy for disability. So, that means getting a lawyer and going before a board to decide if you are capable of doing ANYTHING in this world before they decide if you can draw anything. This all takes about a year. We went through all of that with our poor daughter and she was in a wheel chair unable to walk and her diabetes was soooo bad. And, after getting a lawyer and all of that, she only got particial disability....which is hadly anything....she sure couldn't live on it. There are so many things in this world that is unfair and that is one of those things. I see so many people drawing a big fat check that seems to be much healthier than my daughter, but maybe I am judging where I shouldn't be.
I do appreciate your thought and I should not have gotten off on such a "tail-spin". You will be afraid to suggest anything to me again.... I do like the work I do, but it can be very stressful at times. Years ago, it would not have bothered me as much as it does now. But, then I was healthy.... It gets stressful b/c everything seems to hit at one time. Also, there is a particular person that has been a thorn in my side since day one. I think that is the root of most of my stress there.
I think I am more concerned about my H not being able to hold out to work like he use to. Our Christmas was very, very lean this year due to that very reason. However, I did not allow it to bother me, where years ago, it would have about made me sick b/c I couldn't buy the gifts for everyone, etc. Maybe you learn and grow as you get older..... I was just happy and thankful that we could be together and be as well as we were. I still have my mother, which I consider to be very blessed. I still have my daughter when the doctors said she would not live. Everyone was togehter at Chrimas Eve except for my GS. Please continue to pray about that situation.....b/c I don't feel good about it. However, I know God can turn things around before he totally messes up his life. The angels have taken care of him in many situtations b/c of all the prayers going up on his behalf.
Tawnya, you are a special friend and bring so much of your sunny dispostition into a lot of people's post. Where I write until I burn people out......you can say just a few words, give a great big hug, and do more than I ever could. So, you keep up the good work around here, okay?
You are a treasure to me and I am so thankful God let me find you. Please take care and I pray that great blessings will come your way this coming year.
Love, Sandi
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
