Re: Isolation and what to tell other people

[Guest guest]

I understand completely. I finally won my Social security disability last May.

I just explain to people that I am on disability due to chronic medical problems

that have become more severe in the last few years.

I loved my work and had a very hard time accepting that I had to stop.

You really do not owe any explaination. Surprisingly, most people do not even

ask.

I am gald to hear that you have a supportive family.

Hope this is helpful. Huzs, Tami

All,

I state that I have a permenant medical problem that does not allow me to do

what I used to do so I may not be

able to do some things somtimes and then I may other times. That covers it all

for me. Bennie
