Follow-Up: B. Raymond, I happened upon this website a few months after your posting! But upon reading your posting, I was thinking that it is obvious how hard you are working in your life. It is unfair that you were told that in Social Work your clients would not understand your condition. I think that if you explained your situation they would understand. As I see it, most people are understanding of someone with a health condition. Perhaps you could pursue Social Work under a more compassionate boss or with a different company. Some people would probably say that you have the potential for a disabilities law suit there. Good luck on making your life work. J. Pircher
