83. what keeps me going
Volunteering. It is more flexible than work; you are not required to be there. There any number of groups desperate for volunteers.

I am the local Rotary Club's adviser for the local Interact and Rotaract clubs- they are, respectively, the high school and college-level Rotary groups. The "kids" have such energy and enthusiasm, and a little rubs off.

Your friend should apply for disability; with her health problems, she should qualify.

I have come to the conclusion there is nothing wrong with answering "What do you do?" with: "I have a disability, but I volunteer for XYZ group when I can."
