Been on disability for 6 years and last April my wife decided she wanted to split and blamed it on my two kids from a previous marriage instead of the problems that had grown through time between her and I. Plus she inherited about $2 million dollars from an old gentleman we took care of, the will listing only her and not me. Hang in there it will get better. Time will heal all wounds. Although being in the middle of the divorce tends to make one strongly dislike the other, I will always hold a special place in my heart for her. But healing will take time just like the physical healing that your body is undergoing right now.

Man sorry to hear about your back, as I too have been fighting that battle for several years also. Though my problem is at the lower end of the spine. Unfortunatly mine is not operatable ( less than 50% success) so I'm stuck with just meds, MSCotin. My doctor wants me to apply for disability, but still not sure.
