Will see once I heal up if I am able to. Of course with my back it limits my lifting abilities so hence another issue arises on that front. Well so much for fixing up the 4x4 van I just go to do service work. | | | Re: Unemployed Vanner Van Club | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,007 Likes: 47 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,007 Likes: 47 | Hey Phil, doesn't Social Security have something about when you are disabled and can't work? Might be worth checking out.

Some people can get it just walking in the door and showing their faces. Others can roll in the door in a wheelchair and get put through the whole denial process that can take 3-7 years for some. It is not easy unless well I am not going to go there. | | | Re: Unemployed Vanner Van Club | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 2,273 veteran | veteran Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 2,273 | Just catching up on this thread tonight. Nobody enjoys being out of work and EVERYONE feels the stress. Just because some folks are lucky and still have a job or have gotten another is no exscuse to bash those that are trying to make the best of it. Get off your high horse Vince, you been there and done that and still don't care about the folks living it. I'm not even going to type what I think about that!!!

I wish you well and know how hard it is too hold a FT job and go to school. Just hang in there and you will make it. I should concider doing that as my days as an EMT might be at an end if I can't get this bum shoulder too 100%, don't want too drop any patients..Yikes.
I did get to stand in on an operation as part of my EMT clinical hours and found it fasinating too say the least.
The patient had shattered her tib/fib and the Docs had too rebuild the leg with metal plates and screws, too see a Surgon using a cordless drill on a persons leg was kind of freaky.
I'm getting really sick and tired of waiting for this shoulder to heal, I'm bored out of my skull and not in any shape to do any physical work around the house.
I'm running out of stuff too entertain myself, drawing, painting small pics, sculpting, playing my native flutes , reading and watching the TV is about how my life is right now.
I miss work, I miss the Emt crews and I miss the excitement. Oh well, I'm just praying that this is NOT a permanent problem.
The part that SUXS real bad is that until my lawyer gets me in front of a judge I have no income, this is the worst part.
Oh well I believe that when one door is slamed in your face another one can be kicked in...LOL OK so it's my version of the "one door closes, one door opens" saying.
I wish everyone here the very best of luck.
Again, I wish you all the luck and study hard. Jess Red Horse.
