Hi thank you for your response. I may look into this more. Congrats too that is a huge accomplishment. I am sorry your feel so sad. I can relate to what you are feeling a lot. Even though your kids have their own life it does not mean you are any less special to them.It is just a different relationship. I know for me it is hard to not have a purpose in my day. Right now I just try to do the best I can in the day I am in. I am sorry about WC. It sounds like you are accomplishing a lot on your own. I wish I had more answers for you and myself. If you want an email buddy I am here. Hope today is happier

When I first had my accident,expecially the first 4 years, I was either in the hospital,planning to go the hospital or recorvering from a surgery or procedure, including 3 ketamine 5 day inpatinet treatments. After things settled down after the 3rd ketamine treatment and I was feeling pretty good but could not do all the normal things I did before I got very bored and depressed. I could not return to full time work again so I was advised to apply for SSI, which I did. In my first denial, I am currently approved since, they said you can work PT, so I went and got a PT job. I could not do much but sit in front of the computer and do some type of accounting, I used to be a Business Consultant, traveled the country worked with many fortune 500 companies I loved it and miss it so much. Anyway, the mental theraphy it gave me was better then any phsyc. I could ever see. When you are on SSI you are able to earn a certain $ amount, it's not much but it's great for my head. I don't know what your able to do but maybe look in the paper, contact your local chamber of commerce, or maybe volunteer. I only go in 2 days a week but it is such a plus for me.......

Good Luck
