I'm not really disabled, but I was injured at work and had 4 shoulder
surgeries and the shoulder is non-repairable and I will just have to put
up with the limited use of it. That's okay, but I was dropped from work
and am still on disability and no one to help with retraining. I'm
trying to go to school, but financing is about impossible. I'm living on
2/3 of what I used to make and can't afford to retrain myself. I was a
cable tv installer and now I'm out of the labor field and with
disability insurance set up the way it is. I'll lose money to take a
meanial job, and can't afford to do anything else. I really feel for
people with disabilities. I can hardly do things I need to. Well I hope
that someday people realize that the people who are willing to do the
most are usually the people who you think have the least.
