I recently broke my hand; but after the doctor told me I have to take 6 weeks off I was telling myself “I’ll wait until I get the cast and I should be good to work.”It’s hard to not lose yourself in your work. My boss told me to take the 6 weeks to heal and collect disability. Upsetting but its better to let it heal properly.

Tell me about it. I had to take disability retirement decades too young, and I was at a total loss for the first two years. Hell, in many ways, although I’ve cudgeled an existence together, the feeling sometimes persists.
