It is official as of 12/21/2013 I am retired as a teacher for Fontana Unified School District.
I have been working on disability paperwork and such since June when I was taken off of work due to dialysis and ESRD.
I have money now coming in through CalSTRS- California state teachers disability until I am 60 and then they will retire me into the system.
I also have disability insurance that I paid for through work and they are making pay up to 70% for two years, then onto long term disability.
I realized my insurance was in limbo and I had earned insurance for retirement years.  I took a six year health insurance package with everything for now.
Since I had major surgery in January it would be a good idea to have that continuous coverage.
I signed retirement letter and went to benefits and worked everything out today.

The paperwork has been an adventure but it is completed.

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.
