Wow, that's so insensitive. That's also one of the reasons why I formed power over pain, inc; to try and change people's perceptions of life with a chronic painful disease. The main reason was to work with people with CPDs, to help them find their nitch in the working world. To bad I have given up on the venture. I have learned much since having my traumatic brain injury, though, and working my way through the social security maze. Are you on SSDI? If you are, then I have found out lots of new things that I'd be more then happy to share with you.
Welcome aboard, it's very good to meet you. I wish you happy ASkicking.
