i have got inquiries oh how i am liking retirement.
i thought i'd do a report for any that wonder about
me. if you do not really want to read it, you can
delete.
i guess in general i have less stress. also if i
do not sleep, i can make it up the next day. i did
not expect to be so busy. some of my being busy is
that some think i retired to be able to drive them
places at short notice. i have some things of my
own that keeps me busy.
i am going for my 5th opinion (if you count my own
doctor) as to my being out of a job for work related
injury. my doc says that becouse of all the claims
examerners rotating in and out of my case and the
fact that by standards he can only write me up at 45
% loss of use of my arms that they fail to realize
that with my already having disabilities from the cp
that if you take that big a chuck out of my arms,
then i do not have much left to work with. so i keep
getting sent for "opinions." the docs they send me
to see are neuros, but, have little pratical
experience with cp and so they don't give that
conviencing an opinion. i personally think they are
shopping for an opinion they want. i do not know how
many they will send me to. this does effect me
significantly financially and would effect how well
i get along in retirement if they finally rule
negatively on this issue. so you all keep me in your
prayers.
i guess i am doing well so far. the lack of being
able to drive very far without hurting my arms is a
negative. i'd visit friends more ofthen if i could
drive normally.
all in all, i guess it is all right being retired.
at least i am not fighting the traffic every morning
and every afternoon.
