OY...so confused
First, let me preface with this is only a possibility...
I applied for SSDI in November and was denied. I hired an attorney and filed for reconsideration. At this point, I haven't heard anything but I expect that to be expected.
My problem is that I am running on empty financially. While I am pleased to FINALLY be getting some medical care, I'm not seeing a ton of improvement (if at all). I am rather resolving to my mobility issues and trying to find ways to work around them. I had an appointment with vocation rehabilitation and am waiting to find out if I qualify (meaning- I am physically able to work) and if they can steer me to positions that will accommodate my physical concerns. Meanwhile, I responded to an ad for a case management position. I received a call from the recruiter this morning and get the feeling they will be accommodating. But I am scared. Scared that I can maybe be okay for a couple of days and then be toast for a few days, thus losing the job. And I'm not sure how any/all of that will affect my SSDI claim. Also, there's the just starting pool therapy thing...I would not be able to adhere to the allotted pool times, so I would not be able to complete therapy there and still need to be physically able to finish my nursing degree.
I'm feeling as though my excitement to be a productive member of society and be able to provide for myself has gotten ahead of me. Should I take the chance? Has anyone ventured back into the workforce with a new employer and made it work?
