"Are you going to apply for disability?"
"No."
"Are you going to try to get a nurse to visit?"
"No."

This reminds me of all of my classmates who didn't pay attention and insisted they would be fine after graduation--or people studying anything else with poor job prospects.

It just sounds like wishful thinking.

Some people suggest that D.C. should only consist of government buildings and the rest should return to Maryland, so that residents can finally vote for their neighbor, the president.
Why do you think working is crazy? Sounds like she's hopeful to get back to normal life.

Disability isn't a brilliant strategy for life; it's a last resort. Perhaps she doesn't feel like she's at the last resort yet.
