Margaret,
Thank you for your reply. I am self employed but I have been paying into state disability through my small corporation. I am waiting to hear if I qualify for benefits and if so how much. I have let my wonderful well trained employee go. I guess reality has hit me hard and I thank you for reminding me that there is light at the end of the tunnel but it seems so far away right now. I do have a wonderful support group but I truthfully feel very, very alone right now. Wish I could just skip the next six months. Sorry, what a baby.
