I can't thank you enough for all the good wishes, support and words of similar thoughts & experiences and struggles (although I wish none us had to deal with them).

Thanks Joan, Lori, Chrissy and others on your own knowledge, research, and thinking on the disability issues relative to your jobs. I would like to do it to free myself up to spend my time more as I like, but need to get solid info on what my finances would be before I do anything. Also as Joan, you mentioned, what if I didn't qualify at some reviewal point then I'd be out the benefit, insurance coverage and a job. Very risky. I need to do more research and think this through carefully. I should be very glad - and I am - that I'm in a position of being able to choose to do this, and not forced to because I can't function. Weighing the odds and options is fogging my brain - hopefully answers and clarity will come in due time.
