While all the information is helpful, I was looking for the bottom line which I felt is what Deb said. If I can't get work because of my disability within the time until my unemployment runs out, that is what I think I should pursue but I will definitely find an attorney. I don't have the strength to go through all the BS without someone who knows the ropes with/behind me. I just don't feel like I can go that one alone. I feel like I can work, but honestly, while I was working, like someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, every day is a struggle and it is annoying when a coworker complains about their hangover or stubbed toe or whatever it is, then blast the office radio so I can't concentrate or hear myself think let alone function with the phone which was part of my job. I haven't documented much since my surgery but I think I'll get a composition book and start writing what I can remember or at least within a ball park and keep a better log from here on in. Losing my job is scary but not being able to find something else when I really NEED the income to get by (and I don't mean live it up, we rarely, if ever, even go out to the movies or to a restaurant, it's just cheaper to do it at home) is even more scary. I'm wondering if I should even spend the $ on gas to ride to the shore for a day to clear my head and also take my daughter along since her last day of school is Tuesday. I guess something you HAVE to do to keep your sanity, at least that's how I'm trying to look at. I've been reading alot of different threads on this site since I have a bit more time now that my oldest has graduated and for the most part is ready for college in the fall, and also because she went away for senior week and I can use her lap top whenever I want to LOL! Anyway, my point was (I get distracted so easily) with everything I've read I feel like I am still a lucky person having gone through what I did and still be here to talk about it. There are so many people out there on these boards who have so many wonderful words of encouragement and are going through same/similar things, it makes more sense when you read someone else's perspective. I will get through this, we all will get through this with the love and support of others. Thanks to everyone even though you may not know it, you have helped me in more ways than you think! Hugs all around!!
