Disability..

About two years ago I broke my leg, and ever since then it's been none stop throbbing and aching, and I've gotten two infections in it. My last surgery to remove some of the hardware was about 4 weeks ago. I was talked into filing for disability, and that makes me feel bad. I never imagined my life at the age of 20 being half disabled, and barely able to stand for more than a few hours without needing to sit back down. My parents want me to stop going to cosmetology school until I can start feeling better, but that's like telling me to put my dreams on hold. Who even knows if I will feel better if I've been hurting for two years straight? I give up, I can't fight this battle anymore. I wish this would have never happened to me. I can see it now, my 50th birthday, still on disability... :[

I like Elderjane's advice.

Stacy, many years ago I had to have a knee replacement in both knees and a
broken ankle ...3 bones. Don't give up. Use that disability to go to
college and major in something like fashion design so that you do not have
to stand up. Do not give up...just use your disability money to get an
education and your talent in another field. Trust me, it may hurt for
a few years but it will get better. Courage dear heart.

Thank you so much for your words of encourage, I really love cosmetology. But you're right. Everyone is right. They tell me health is a lot more important, and I could end up losing this leg, which I really don't want.. I will keep everyone updated on what I am going to do.
