People with disabilities have a much higher rate of unemployment. See Wall Street Journal report. The unemployment rate last year was 14% for persons with disabilities. As of July, 2010, the rate has risen to 16.4%.
Persons with disabilities always need information about possible accommodations. A great website is JAN (Job Accommodation Network) website sponsored by Dept. of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy. There you can look at various accommodations based on the type of disability. There is a separate section for employers and employees.
Of course, the best answer is whatever your health care provider and you come up with. But, the JAN website can help you consider possible alternatives.
