re disability
Hi Deb

I do have disability and I have no trouble with that. The issue is that, when I recover, I will have no job to return to. I'm also unlikely to get health insurance again given my history. I do not relish the idea of being a 44+ old woman looking for a job after 4+ years on sick leave. The insurance company will support me but I am too highly educated to retrain and will have challenges finding work in my former area of work.

Thanks for you good wishes.

Michelle
