Re: Two Things - Unemployment and Wheelchairs

[Guest guest]

,

I once had to quit a job due to a car accident, surgery and recovery. My doc

assured me I'd mend, but said I needed about 6 months to get myself back

together, in other words 'stop working' temporarily. I did receive unemployment

benefits during that time, as I could still look for work with some

modifications - like grantwriting from home, or making my own hours at the firm

(like 2 hours a day).

This was back in the 80's though, unemployment may be different now. Check with

your State Department of Economic Development.

Sorry I can't help out with the wheelchair issue.

ssdi. i have got so much information from this group. i thank everyone. i worked

as a waitress, and i can not do it. i had to decide if my health or money were

more importent. there is ssi which helps, but i think i had to much money in the

Subject: Two Things - Unemployment and Wheelchairs

I am thinking about getting a wheelchair that I can propel myself with ease. I

just let my mom have my not so great one, because she has cancer. I can really

use a wheelchair when extensive walking is my other option.

For those of you, who use a wheelchair...

1. Did your insurance help pay for it?

2. Do you have a wheelchair that you really love? Brand? Model? Where did you

buy it? Did you get measured for it?

The second issue is this. I pretty much cannot do my job anymore. I am going to

the doc on Tuesday and I am pretty sure he will tell me I need to stop. That is

what I was told two years ago and I am still here. I am a preschool teacher with

28 1 and 2 year olds in my class. I almost fall over a bazillion times a day and

am in pain. I get so exhausted I honestly feel like I am going to vomit. Okay,

for those of you who had to leave a particular job because of doctors orders,

were you able to get unemployment while you looked for another job? Share your

experience please.

I am so scared. My husband does not earn enough to support me or carry my health

insurance.

Thank you.
