Our house would have been payed off by then. I worked a very physical job my entire working life, and figured I could continue to do it to earn a living, but I was wrong. My body started wearing out in 2010, and by 2011, I had to have surgery on both knees.
I only made it to the age of 56 before I couldn't do my job anymore, and had to go on permanent disability. I'm only getting about half of what I made when I was still working, which has really affected our income, and always will.
It fucking sucks.
It sounds like you could quality for SSDI. Have you tried? Is there something I'm missing, I'm not up on SSDI regulations.
I've been receiving disability payments from social security since the end of 2016.
