I'm a worker's comp situation with a June 2015 injury and off work since Oct. 2015. Docs are still hopeful I will regain enough function/reduction in pain to return to some form of work. I've been on disability this whole time (worker's comp disability). I am applying for SSDI on the advice of my doc/lawyer because they feel it will be a year or more before I will be there (and also just in case I don't get there...).

I don't know. Part of me isn't sure I will. Because of the mental issues (brain fog, concentration issues, memory issues) as much as anything else. The pain you can distract yourself from some of it when you are really focused on work (especially work you enjoy) but if your work isn't done well/right because your brain is jumbled, well...?? Then what??
