A new WOW moment ... I got a "sorta" job!!!

Most of you know I've been fighting a degenerative spine problem for about the last two decades ... and for the last 4 years I've been on total disability ... a complete disappointment for me after having a 32 year job. It just got to where I couldn't concentrate on anything but being in pain, and I was so large no surgeon (in my area) was willing to tackle a second, more intense back surgery for me. I still fight back pain, but things are so much better now with 200+ lbs off my frame. So ... I got a *sorta* job!!! It's just as a filler-inner for a local investment office, on an on-call basis. I probably won't be called all that often nor will I make NEAR what I used to make per hour ... but it will give me the opportunity to see if I *can* sit at a desk for more 8 hours and not impact my back further and help me get some perspective on whether I'm any closer to being able to return to a more defined work schedule. It's definitely a first step for me to get back to feeling more like a productive person again ... and trust me ... trying to pay bills on a disability income isn't all that easy. So everyone please keep fingers crossed for this to work out, ok? (((hugs to all))) Myra G

Myra, That is so cool! I am glad you are at a point that you can even give this a shot! Good luck, and I hope it all works out well. Leeanne

Hi Myra, Congratulations on your wow moment. I wish you all the best on your new job. I know what you mean. My mom is on disability and just her light bill was more than her check. I'll be rooting for you. Take care and keep us posted. Diana
