That's a tough call, smonster. In my opinion, once you've had the "maybe I should do something else" thought, giving it serious consideration is a good idea. Especially if it's a matter of what your body can handle physically. Pushing yourself just to prove you can (especially if you can't really except by hurting yourself) or whatever wouldn't be good for anyone. But thinking about it seriously isn't definitely doing it, either, so allow yourself to consider possibilities.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Atropa, much Dad~ma. I hope they figure out the right treatment quickly.
Those are fantastic questions, JenP. I marked your post because it's definitely something I need to discuss with myself.

Health~ma for your dad, Atropa.
Smonster, would some sort of building inspector job suit you? I seem to recall you don’t like spending all day at a desk, and this would get you out and about. While there are probably core hours you’d be expected to work, it seems like something that might have some flexibility. No idea how one gets into the field, but it might be worth researching.
