I don't understand. By being a care person and taking the load off someone else that would have to do it makes you a productive person.
In Canada we have a program to retrain people that can no longer do their job to do something they can. My brother went through the program. I never did because there is nothing I can do in my condition. I can't even sit in front of a computer for very long.
You could probably find something you are compatible with. Do you need to work, or do you just want to?
I'd go back to work in a flash if I could, at least that is what I tell myself. I miss work but I still remember the last few jobs I had and they were not good. A couple were very good but a person has to be very healthy to do them.
Are you "too far gone" physically or mentally or both. Some times I feel like I'm both. But actually I'm just physically too worn out and that would cause major stress if I tried to work again. Even if I could work out of my house.
We are trying to add on to our house and that will be a slow process. It is frustrating knowing how but not being able to do it. We got a quote that was twice what it should have been and that made me sad. So We are going to try to do as much as we can and look for some one more reasonable.
It is amazing how some people will take advantage of you if they think you have no choice.
That is my vent for the day. Need to weld up my tractor so I can use it again and that and digging a few potatoes will probably be it for the day.
