I will be 63 in about two weeks. I nearly cashed in my chips when I was 35 (acute respiratory distress with sepsis). I have had nine tumors (eight caught early). I am an insulin dependent diabetic, my kidneys are shot, my left leg is almost two inches shorter than my right and now Z have neuropathies in both feet and both my hands. Doc says I have COPD from smoking.
Doc told me that I was a good candidate for disability. I applied and was denied. I wonder how all these people get it so easily. Maybe I have to act a little goofy or something.
In truth, I give a prayer of thanks each day for the good Lord giving me another day and for giving me the chance to work. Life is good. Hard some days, but always good.
God bless us all, especially us old folks.
