Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Good luck ...let me know if there is anything I can do to help I hope this finds you and yours well Mark E. Armstrong casca@... www.top5plus5.com PAI NW Rep ICQ #59196115 I start working tomorrow I have accepted a job working in a nursing home. I wanted to wait and see how things went before I told anyone. It is an as needed position working about 3-4 days a month. My mother is convienced that Social Security will kick me off their rolls. My husband says if they do, then we will just sell our house and move into something more affordable. His theory is that my mental health and sanity are more important than money. I am not 100% sure that I can do this, but I know for sure that if I don't try I will never know. Faith comes into play here for me, I truely know that God has not lifted me up, for me to sit in this house and twitle my thumbs, it's time to be productive again. I tried to explain that Social Security if fine if you need it, but if I am able to work then that is what I should do, my intention was never to mooch off the system. I have always been independant and head strong. I hope this gives encouragement to some out there that things do change.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 , Congratulations on your job ! You will not know how you will do until you try. So keeping a positive attitude is good for you. You are a smart girl and contribute allot to the group here. You sound like a very caring person and a good patient advocate. You will feel better mentally if you try to work, and maybe physically your body will catch up ! I applaud you for trying. Wishing you only the best ! keep us posted on how you are doing.
