Guest guest Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I had to stop working a little over 10 years ago because of chronic back pain. It was a big jolt the first time I saw the word, " disabled " , listed under 'Occupation' on a form. Yet, someone looking at me would not guess I was disabled. When you meet people, they naturally ask what you do. When I answer that I don't work because of a " bad back " ; I get the " Yeah, right. " look. Yup. I'm one of those lazy guys, who doesn't want to work and I'm milking the system look. Even some of my relatives believe I'm running some sort of scam. Ya know, I'm faking it, and I'm sitting there watching all those big fat disability checks just roll in. If I can't go to a family function, because of my pain; it's that I'm using it as an excuse so I won't have to go. At times, I wished I had an arm or leg missing; at least I could show people I'm disabled. But how do you show pain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
