if given a choice do you think
most people would choose to be
disabled? to be without sight
speech hearing or be unable
to walk think reason would be a
terrible thing to comprehend.
who would choose to be
discriminated against in
the workplace? why is it so hard
for the disabled to find a
good job, one that will support their
needs and make them feel important
independant valuable?
is being disabled a curse from an
angry god or is it a blessing
from a loving God? i know that He
will not give us more than we can
bear...but it is getting harder to
cope with all of the pain and all of
the frustrations i face each
and every day...God, give me strength.

I am disabled myself. I have severe degenerative disc disease, sciatic nerve pain, and osteoarthritis; have had this since 1983 (arthritis diagnosed in 1986). I receive around $200.00 a month from the VA, and I must work at a low paying job because I cannot live on what they send me. Do you think I'd choose to live in pain 24/7? Do you think I enjoy being discriminated against? (Before I found my current job, it took me nearly 6 months to find work, because I walk with assistance and don't have transportation). This isn't the best job, but it is the only one I could find, and with the economy being what it is, I must stay with it. For the most part, I love my job, but I wish I could do better...
