So thankful (good news for DH)

DH applied for disability this past summer and we received word that he was approved.

Back story:  He was severely burned as a small child and has had ongoing issues with his right leg through his life.  Although his last job was a "desk job"  he had issues with pain, arthritis, and infections in his legs since his injury.  Last year he decided to retire early due to his health and, as a result, received reduced Social Security retirement benefits.

Although I am still working, with our reduced income we were just making it (no complaints, we have what we need right now).  We know that he will eventually have to have the leg amputated, and we were at a loss as to how we were going to be able to afford to modify our home to accommodate his needs when the time comes.

But now, the disability payment he receives will equal what he would have received if he had retired "on time" and we will be able to bank the money to be able to finance the modifications that we will eventually have to make.  It is truly a blessing to us and a huge relief!
