Happy days!

Some good news for a change!

Have had a horrific time for 2 years (Dx 18 months ago) resulting in me spending a lot of time using crutches/wheelchair etc...

Physically I still feel like a car crash but my brain has been going stir crazy with boredom!

So... I've found the perfect 'very' part time job! They know about my RA and have installed bar stools everywhere so I can sit whenever I need to! It's only 3 hours every other week but the practice is growing and they are happy to increase my hours as/when I find a med that works!

Working as a vet receptionist... I'm getting paid to cuddle dogs!

Happy days!

So relieved to find that there are employers put there who don't dismiss disability instantly

Dear Gaymamma: Good on you, big time!! Keep strong: we all need to feel some sense of 'self worth' and working does that. My favorite creature on the face of the earth are 'dogs'. My little man - when I'm feeling low, and crying silent tears, climbs into my lap, and licks the tears on my face. 'Cuddle' your heart away. 'Sproal'

Couldn't agree more! I have 4 at home and yes the furry dudes really do keep me going <3

That's the kind of job I would absolutely love xx

That is certainly a very good news. So far I only come across RA patients leave their jobs because of the pain and they cannot function as normal. You are the only one that I come across getting a new job where your employer is willing to accommodate your situation. That is really amazing!!

[gaymamma in reply to Amy_Lee]

That's exactly why I wanted to share it! It's so so easy to get so totally overwhelmed and disheartened with this stupid illness.... just for once I wanted to give a positive; there are a few employers out there who look at your disability and your job app and say 'wow. That's determination... impressive'

So chuffed. I genuinely felt I was on the scrap heap for life.....

Amen!!! What a blessing!!! Keep Looking Up!!! And watch the blessing flow from above.....there may not even be room enough to receive them!!! :).

Made My Day,
