[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 335327, member: 1514"] Ugh. I really hate to hear this too. I am not surprised to hear it but I hate to hear it even so. Get those medical records and attempt to start the disability process. With all you know about the extreme unlikelihood of Rob being able to retrain in another career, I would think that disability is the way to go. To be completely frank here, with the cognitive problems plus his earlier learning problems, I think any type of formal schooling or training is just going to be a bust. I dont think I could even attempt formal college right now and I am well past my difficult child days! My injury wasnt half what Robs was. Im not comparing kids but this is where we sort of stand with Cory. He is somewhat better emotionally with the bipolar and could probably do ok working in construction with that but now his physical disabilities are so bad that he can hardly lift anything anymore. And there is no way on earth he can retrain. He cant even get his GED for heavens sake. Sigh. What to do. I hope you can find a way to overcome this but its going to be hard. It breaks my heart for Rob and for you. [/QUOTE]
