Kathie,
I just filled out my paperwork to apply for SSDI and
I have a phone interview later this month. I'll keep
you posted on how things are going.
When I asked my Neuro about applying for disability
his answer to me was that I was too young! I hope he'll
write the necessary papers that I need.
I also baby-sat for an infant last year and know
how exhausting it was. I don't know how you have
the energy to watch seven children. I feel the energy
that I have now, I need it to take care of myself and my
family.
