[QUOTE="witzend, post: 98806, member: 99"] Honey, how on earth did you hold on to that for that long? I just want to give you a big hug. I know that it can sound belittling when someone older says it, but I don't mean it that way at all. 34 is not old. I'm 46 and had to quit working and go on SSDI when I was 38. I'm back to working very part time now, as a way of supplementing my SSDI. It takes 6 months from the time you are disabled to be eligible for your first check, so you might want to talk with your doctor about it. In hindsight, I knew I was not going to keep working when I was your age. I wish I had done more to prepare myself. I wonder if I should have thought about college. I don't know. I'm sure I did what was best for me. Just as I am sure you will do what is best for you. Here's to your new life. [img]:smile:[/img] I know you'll knock our socks off! [/QUOTE]
