Billy, volunteer nothing. Don;t take the friendliness as having your best interest at heart. Far to many times over the year saw this in action and come back to screw folks over by gaining their trust.

Only answer the questions. Paint a picture to your limitations to the counsilor.
If they ask about driving, tell of medications make in limited, of support of arms needed, limit to a 20 minute drive and that is with switching hands and rest arms *** they fall asleep. If they ask about sleeping, pain the picture of how and if naps, etc.

If they ask about making food, the limits to quick meals, microwave or someone other cooks....To dressing, when you do dress it is in easy wear, many things you have are liesure and pull on not zipper or buttons.

Computer work, limited to days to pay bills read news, can not type for more then few minutes.

Who does grocery shopping, if other does it state, if you do a small store, limited items and weight, state that. Recreation...what is that. family get togethers, watch a son play little league when you can (when these apply).

WHen they are accessing, they ask, do you email friends or talk on the phone...meaning, Oh, you can use a computer and talk on the phone type JOB!!!! That is how they sneaky twist it, remember that.

You think it is a friendly comment , do you email family or talk to them on the phone and next thing that you know they recommend a job monitoing security camera's, telemarketing, or receptioning, hostess.....

Just state the facts in as few words, do not go into details, when you feel interogated or trapped, If it is No then that is it, if yes, only give what you need,

I hope that it goes well, if the results are not favorable it is not the final word...you still have a say. Also with limitations, if you can not do them voice to the doctor what you can not do and how you can do something lesser. Like not a gallon of milk but a quart....or two liter bottle of soda in not resonable for you to be carrying around and to pour.

Good luck
