And that is what people, and even agencies, don’t get about being disabled.
I have degenerative disc disease. I can still do things. What people don’t see is that yes I can rinse and dry off that car but afterwards I have to lay down for a couple of hours.
I take pain pills but mostly have learned to live with the pain. I am just determined that I am NOT gonna just stop but I know for a fact that there is no way I can still work. Besides I doubt that I could find an employer who would allow me to call in on the days that I get up and can barely walk, which happens all the time. Some days are better than others.

Thanks for the note Sheena. I appreciate it.

Here this guy is, having hiked back into the site where the stone was, so he’s going to have a tougher time explaining himself.

My legs are my problem. I can’t do what I used to be able to, and yet I look pretty dog gone healthy.

In certain ways, I still am. In others, I was 75 at 40.
