being physically dissabled and requiring the help of others, does not mean that you are dissabled, and can't contribute to the society you live in.
and work does not have to be all or none, and also can be modified, in ways that do not seem possible.
I am sure that you will eventually find the way that works best for you.
I have had times in which I truly thought that my life is over, and that there is no way in the world I am going to live like that.
it is not trivial to learn to live with this illness, which is in reality very far from the "pink" descriptions in the text-books.
But, I do think it is possible.
