A question...
I was diagnosed in August and am still working full time. The disease is progressing and my speech is getting really thick, my right arm is at about 20 percent and my legs are getting unsteady. My bosses say I can stick around and get paid for as long as I want.
However, I don't want to end up in a bind for equipment and waiting for Medicare to get approved when I qualify for SSDI. I may need communication equipment before then. That can take five or six months, I hear. So, I'm not sure what to do. The job provides more income. But my Blue Cross only covers $2000 in equipment costs per year. Any suggestions?
