Sometimes A New Path is Needed
Ok, so I'll try not to ramble on, as I tend to do. Anyway, I am a 43 year old grandmother of two. I've worked in about every field possible and have even held multiple supervisory and management positions, which is pretty good considering I do not have any type of college degree. I've always just been the type of person that goes above and beyond whatever expectations have been set. Everything was fine until I started having serious medical problems. I've been taken from different jobs by ambulance more times than I can count. I've been Mercy Flighted 3 tines and have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that has caused me vascular issues among other problems. Throughout all these medical issues, I have always tried to get back to work as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, when you miss multiple days of work, regardless of the reason, employers view you as a burden and find a reason to let you go. I've lost 6 jobs in the last 10 years, but I keep trying and trying. I now have 4 specialists and 13 medications that do their best to keep my medical conditions at bay. I even had an employer advertising my position in the local newspaper while I was actually still in the hospital, but they used a different email address for replies, so I wouldn't see them. The sneakiness is what hurt the most. Anyway, I keep trying and trying. I've applied for disability...but that can take 2-3 years. At this point, I've been reduced to a part time babysitting job. After handling BBB & FCC complaints for the corporate office of a cable company, managing the office of a trucking company, and being an Administrative Assistant / Licensed Property & Casualty Sub Agent.....this is depressing. My bills are all behind. I can't even afford the small co-payments to go to see my doctors. So I can't get a job because I need to see doctors on a regular basis, but I can't afford to pay the co-payments to go to the doctors that I need. *Sigh....I'm praying for a miracle...I am so hardworking and loyal. I only need to see 4 specialists 3 times a year. Hopefully someplace will understand and give me a chance to prove myself. I just hate being so limited on what positions I'm capable of doing because I can't walk or stand for long periods. OK....self proclaimed pity party over now.
There are government programs available while you are waiting for disability; medicaid,food and utility assistance.
Sounds like something is trying to tell you something. It's time to take care of yourself. Look you can always work from home. I have seen those posted. Become an uber driver. Or look into these 2 websites: www.nashdisabilitylaw.com www.2keller.com. They give free consultations and I know Nash helped a friend of mine in the same circumstances but younger. Good luck and God bless and stay safe
Apply for jobs that you can stay home work back computer
Give it to God and ask him for healing..he is the ultimate door opener and the ultimate healer
What you to do is start buying and selling on eBay and Amazon basically how it works is when go into any store in the world things go clearance buy those items and mark them up a few bucks and sell them on any free social media site like (offer up) or (let go) stuff like that for extra income and you don’t need a lot of money to start I do it all the time and I’m 47. Best of luck hope this helps!!
I hear and feel your pain.i too have always given110 percent but do near what i used too after i fell on ice in company parking lot after closing trailer doors walking back to cab.well good luck hun for a brighter future!
I had to file for disability but I used a specialty lawyer. If you go through legal services it will take longer and more of a chance of denial. They get credit if they win or lose. Find someone who has just as much to lose as you. They dont get paid unless you get approved.They will stick with you. Fight for you. Actually be able to know what you are going through and find ways to get you temporary help.
Try and find something that allows you to work from home.
Never give up! I have a lot in common with you and I am also waiting on Disability claim.I feel like you need to listen to your body and then you will feel better and maybe not at the mercy of a Doctor. I applaud you for all you have done with your life. Just remember God always provides.God Bless you and your family! Anita C.
