Hi Chris,
I actually finished my undergrad several years ago and I put my grad school on hold until I had more experience.
The job is actually in a new field for me, but I have some skills that they were looking for and lining up some training courses for me. I'm supposed to go to a conference in a few weeks to start my training.
At this point, I'm not getting around well. Every step feels like there is glass in the joints. I tried my cane today when I went out and it didn't help much. Using one cane for two joints doesn't work well. I've been thinking about it and the only solution I can think of is elbow crutches.
The way I was hired is actually a problem though. Even though I get all the benefits, I'm not a permanent employee until I complete a certain number of hours and some other requirements. I didn't want to make my disability too obvious, but I don't know if its avoidable.
Jeff
