Thanks folks....
Must admit, here, if nowhere else that this is just incomprehensible.... I'm supposed to BE the one taking care of stuff, not worrying about being taken care of. It scares the HECK out of me (and makes me sad, and ANGRY!!)! I'm progressing (if that's the right word, declining would be more descriptive) slowly, which is good, 'cause it gives me time to figure out ways to compensate.... which I think is part of why I'm sooooo angry.... I can deal with the terminality of the diagnosis, it's the not knowing what to expect or when, that is driving me around the proverbial bend! Probably doesn't help that I'm trying to still be the "strong" one with my friends and family.
so, my Canadian PALS, especially those in Ontario...... apply for ODSP? OW? No benefits from my job, other than my bi-weekly pay...
Wanted to say thanks to Kim, but her acronyms confuse me... lol... SSDI? Medicare? Must be a south of the border thing, eh? I will take a look at the stickies you mentioned. Thanks again.
Truth be told, I'm scared to quit working..... Most days it's the reason I get out of bed.... If I quit this job, who would ever hire a general labourer (supervisor), who can't use her arms?? Heck, I can't even fathom what I would do all day....
