I am having a hard time in the workforce because I look perfectly healthy, so people expect me to act perfectly healthy. The plain fact is I will never be healthy unless I get the miracle I pray for. I have a smile on my face most of the time although I’m in extreme pain 24 hours a day.
I’m happy to read that some workplaces are hiring people with disabilities – some of us are the hardest working people you will ever meet.
