I envy you. I would give anything to be able to work again. SSA has a program for trial work periods. It's my understanding your medicare benefits continue while you work. I think it's 6 months long and if it doesn't work out no harm done, your SSDI status remains the same.
Look on the SSA website, I'm sure it explains the program.
I would encourage you to work if yiu can.
There's always the option of working and stayin under the SGA. This year the limit is $1020 after dedications (like medicine )
