Thanks. It's been three years and I miss it. I'll be pretty happy just to get back to hobbling with a cane.
....I think we both have a long ways to go until retirement. Maybe a career change is in order?
What happened if I may ask?
And yeah you're probably right. I've been wanting to try start my own company of one for a long time, but I'm just too scared to step out of my comfort zone despite life giving me great opportunities to switch and I'm once again staring at one in the face right now.
I have Charcot's. So far we've managed to keep my legs attached but they're in rough shape.
I know it can be scary but sometimes you just have to take the leap. Years ago I moved across the country with just what I could fit in my car and it ended up being the best decision of my life. It could go wrong or it could be the smartest thing you've ever done. You won't know unless you try.
Man that's rough.. It's really hard to appreciate things we take for granted untill it's taken away. I really feel for the blind and people unable to walk. I couldn't imagine having to go thru that myself. It really is things that just happens to other people and not me untill it does. I hope future medicine and science has an ace up in its sleeve to help people like you.
