Re: I don't know if I can handle another day- vh

[Guest guest]

Don't have more than a couple of days of paid time off. Don't have any short

term disability. And I could take medical leave of absence but I would not be

paid. And what will I live on until SSI would come through because they reject

everbody about 5 or 10 times before they ever approve it. Also, I would

probably have to cough up money for specialists and get all kinds of medical

records... and I have no health insurance.

Thanks so much though for your thoughts. Don't know what I would do without

this group here.

love,

Debra V.

to apply for ssi, so when You absolutely need to quit, you have something. I

am worried about you.

I'm in the same boat Debra. It's only me, I can't take 3 years off waiting for

SSD and fight with them about it. I have to earn a living to live.

*sigh*

I'm at work now and hurting so badly I could sream. I have 5 more hours until

I can go home.

hugs
