     My hat is off to anyone who can manage to get Social Security Disability Insurance. As far as I can tell with my condition (rectal cancer) unless I'm a gibbering mound I'm ineligible because I can "still do the work".

     Even though my energy has been sapped with my treatment. Even though near the end of my last chemo round my brain was like a stick of butter.

     I'm not mad. I don't fault the folks who qualify, or the folks making the decisions. I'm just wondering how far this disease has to go before the "disabled" bit flips.

     Guess we'll find out.
