Re: Crossroads
From what you are saying, it sounds like you financially would be better off to keep working at some level. I believe that you will heal w/the c-diff situation and be strong again.
In the meantime however, your work has to make a reasonable accomodation to accomodate your disability. So, I believe you could start there and decide what is realistic for you to try and return to - maybe not begin at 40 hours a week.
What do you feel is realistic for you? I hope this helps - it just seems the more you can do some work, the more you can beef up your disability payments when needed.
HTH,
Kim
