What something that you like to do but can't do because of your disability?

Question

I do agree with foucing on ability but I also believe in been real with what we can and can't do. If you keep something locked up it exploxes.
i would love to be able to play club cricket except for my limited catching ability. and slow running speed etc.
I know my ability is art and creativeness
My theory is to be balance, as been at either end of the scale is not right.

Answer 1

i love music. i played the flute and i sang every chance i got, but lung disease took that away. two things i hold dear to my heart i can no longer do. smoking is not why i got lung disease so i didn't bring this upon myself. i have sarcoidosis.

Answer 2

Pay off my debts and establish credit so someone would want to steal my identity. (not really) Being on a fixed income seems to have an unfortunate advantage over some acquired debts. When agencies and the government start taking away benefits to pay off debts besides child support than what's the point of being on and collecting disability? You would be forced to work or steal to stay alive anyway. I'm so confused. I was told my ex-wife could have received about two thirds of what I am getting for each child and take child support from my benefit as well. I wonder why she didn't? When she divorced me she had told me laughingly that I was worth more to her dead than alive. I don't know what a normal life really is these days.I do know things can and have been worse.

I guess my real answer is: Plan for the future.

Answer 3

There are many things that I cannot do anymore I have had several surgeries on my back and cannot work. I cannot stand or set for long periods of time I cannot lift over 5 pounds and that makes it very hard with grandchildren. I cannot run, I cannot turn my head to look over my shoulder I need another surgery on my back but after so many I am now afraid of them and think the pain is better than the risk.

Answer 4

I have epilepsy and 4 heart attacks and by pass and pacemaker, disability, YES.
climb, work, clean house maybe one room at a time, more energy, not tired so much, be more limber, calmer nerves, lift heavy things again, could stand the heat again. So much more to mention.
Good luck, I am sorry for you.
Do the best you can and enjoy all you can, we still have a life to live and there are things we can do. At least we aren't bedridden.
