Today is rough.
It took me a solid hour to get out of bed. Leg pain.
As I was in the car, I started to feel… almost out of body. A true sign that my pain sensors are being overloaded.
As I sit at my desk, my back and shoulders and neck are screaming in agony.
I need to get a massage or go see a chiropractor.
I’m sweating from the concentration I am exerting to simply function today. And no, I still can’t receive Disability Benefits. Whether I wanted to or not. It wouldn’t be worthwhile anyway as the average Disability payout in Iowa is $1,074 a month.
So… keep struggling. Keep pushing forward. Grit your teeth and try to proceed.
Though… considering who I work for… considering the specifics of Private Law… this isn’t exactly a good situation right now. Because the amount of energy and focus spent on functioning… slows me down as an employee. Which costs me money. And angers the bosses.

I hope you feel better! It's sad how crappy disability payments are, or I would have considered it.

Hoping you feel better. I know what it’s like to try to cope with chronic pain.
