Been jobless since Feb 2020, have had 5 abdominal surgeries since then, along with 12 hospital stays. I can’t find a job, since all the experience and training I have I can’t do, due to abdomin pain and if I lift anything over 20 lbs, I pop a new hernia. I tried the VA retraining route, but since it’s been just under 30 years since I discharged, I’m not qualified to get VA help. I am trying to stay on unemployment as long as possible, until my disability gets completely in gear. Hopefully that happens inside of 2 weeks, but who knows.The only advice I can give is, hold on to what can, keep pushing forward, and keep everything and everyone you close to your. Life sucks, but sometimes it beats the alternative.Being on this forum (way more so than others) has really helped me. Visiting and dealing with you folks on here, is more times than not, the highlight of my day. At least until my family gets off work during the week.</blockquote>
