officially unemployed

I used up all my short term disability at work, so I am now unemployed and on my long term disability insurance. I am conflicted, because while I want to feel good, if I go in remission, they'll cut off my disability payments, and I won't have a job to go back to.

I also think that I've felt sick for so long that I won't recognize what it is like to not feel so miserable.

On another note, no matter how crappy I feel, we are taking my son on a mid-winter vacation to Florida to go to Disney World and Sea World. We've already decided that if I am not up to it, we'll rent a wheelchair for me and have found activities for my husband to do with my son if I need to stay in the room, as my husband doesn't go on rides.
 
Oh Linda, I'm so sorry to hear this...:hug: Damned if you do, damned don't...:(

So fab that you are going on a holiday! YAY! You will have a great time no matter what and how wonderful that you are determined to see your son doesn't miss out! Good on you. :) I bet he is bursting with excitement!

Dusty. :heart:
 
I'm sorry you are having to deal with all of this. It's so hard. I'll be thinking of you.

I hope you have a wonderful vacation.
 
I know how you feel Linda's... here in South Australia, Australia I found that Crohn's sufferers are considered unemployable because Workcover won't cover someone who MAY go into a flare at any time.

Mind you, I found this out after doing 20+ years of schooling so I could get a decently paid job. Now no one will employ me at all!

I now have absolutely no idea what to do with the rest of my life... and little money to do it with either. :( :banghead:
