the unfairness of it all

I went on disabilty for severe back problems and arthritis, I also weighed 286 at the time on a 5 foot 3 inch frame, 4 years ago I underwent gastric bypass surgery , went down to 118 pounds and after a lenghy hospital stay due to complications from surgery, came home . three years later, I could not survive on the 610.00 ssi payment so I went to work, now I am bing removed from ssi and then I will lose all my medicare and medicaid will not be able to afford my prescriptions and will be back at square one, so now I have aweek to make up my mind whether to give up my job or lose my benifits, its so discouraging to try to help yourself and wind up in this situation I am almost 60 years old and had worked since I was 16 more than one job until I couldn't 10 years ago.
