Sounds like you've made some good progress. It was an adventure at the least. And you were incredibly brave and stronger than you knew in Hawaii and Kentucky...but yeah I'd imagine Kentucky is just weird to anyone from the north.

Just one word of advice, don't mention accommodation until you are closer to a final interview. ADA protects employees more than applicants, although it does make it easier to claim discrimination if you have the proof and wherewithal to sue.

I asked for their understanding, I told them I have a muscle/joint disorder and a digestive disease but that I would always try my best and would always communicate to them when I was not at my best so they didn't have to guess if I was having a flare. And reminded them that I am still good at what I do...just may not be 100% everyday. I didn't tell them that I've been struggling for years. It was easier to let them believe it was newer ( ... )
