Thank you all for your well wishes and support. I hope this works out and doesn't cause me more pain than I am already experiencing. I will still be able to go to the pool for arthritis class and be at the other pool on Tuesday and Thursday weather permitting. So far Spring has been a bust around here...ice storm yesterday and cold and rain today. Thanks again everyone!!!

Hey Jeff, way to go. I agree those hours are perfect. I was able to stay working for 5 more years by cutting full time to those same hours, before having to permanently giving it up.
So glad you are still participating in the H2O arthritis classes. I used to teach those classes for years.

Very cool. Hope these hours work out for you with no setbacks. How will it work for the disability part? Can you do a little work and not have it count against you? Or is this off the books? Don't answer the last part if 'they' are watching. LOL.

Hi Jeff. I don't know (or remember) where you live but we are having a weird Spring in Oklahoma also. We have broken weather records that date back to 1940. We had quite an ice storm earlier in the week. We are to have another front with freezing temps next week.
I am excited for you. I would love to go back to my job but in the length of time I have been off, I know I wouldn't have a clue as to what is going on. :o)
Have a good weekend.

Rumble, you are allowed to "try" to go back to work and also you can make a certain amount with it not affecting your disability.
Hope you are feeling better.

Hi Cindy
I at least feel I have to give it a go. I am excited and it will give me sense of purpose. When is your next road trip?
