Carolina, I know all about the process thanks to Renee and for sure today is harder than ever to get approved. Jim was approved on the first time but that was about 15 years ago. The system is flawed and I blame all those people out there who faked the system and ruined it for those who really need it.

I was just venting for my friends, nothing more. But thanks anyway! lol

As far as Vonn or anyone else who is told they can't work don't feel bad if you can't. It's much easier to have the luxury of time to get things done than with a job where you must perform within a certain amount of hours. Not to mention once you are home things need to be done there as well. Having a quilting corp where it's all non profit and works around your schedule doesn't mean one can work a full time or part time job. That is the type of job that can work around your schedule if need be and from home. Some day's one may be able to get up and go to work and other times they can't, not to mention if you are in the process of trying to get SSDI. For those who can still work, congrats and keep on trucking man. But for those of us who stay at home we aren't just sitting around all day. We still have houses and things to keep up just like before. Only now, the time is more flexible. JMHO

If I sound defensive about this subject it's because I watched my husband fight his disability to the core of his being and his health suffered big time. He didn't stop because he felt guilty if he didn't work and no one could tell him different. It didn't help when some people thought he should continue working. He did attend college even after he stopped working in hopes to get back into the workforce but it didn't happen.
