You should definitely list your driving for Uber, it IS a job!
Instead of saying what you can't do, think about what you CAN do. If a job can be done sitting in a chair or on a stool, then that is a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Once you have made your list of what you can do, make another, shorter list of what you would most like to do as a job.
Start with your state labor board or unemployment office and ask them to direct you to what agencies might be able to assist you. Many states have agencies that can provide assistance to the long term unemployed, from helping you determine what types of jobs you are qualified for, how to write a resume, how to fill out an application, etc.
AARP has resources to help seniors over 55 find employment:
Hi Lloyd: Thanks for posting on Jobcase! You begin start filling out application right here on Jobcase! You can start by double-click the Jobs and Companies button at the top of the page and enter the company you're looking for and location. Click on the blue search button to see everyone who's hiring. If you see anything that looks interesting, just click the job title and follow the instructions to apply. To help you get better results, upload your resume and update your profile. In regards to the 11 year gap on resume, you can either start back through a temp agency and do Uber/ Lyft on the side. The other option would be writing a cover letter explains why you would the best candidate for the company. Lastly, look into administrative assistant positions, those are more sit down jobs
