| Introduction | I am in my early 60s. I am married and live on the near-Westside of Colorado Springs. I worked as a Registered Nurse and a factory-trained BMW Motorcycle mechanic time many years. I suffered a botched gall bladder removal that put me in a coma for 28 days. The hospital (Penrose) that I worked in (and that almost killed me) then fired me "because I could no longer do the work"! I tried working at a desk job (my first ever!) a year later and found that I could not even make that work. I am presently filing for Social Security Disability. I worked as a volunteer, at many agencies and places, for just about 40 years. There are MANY stories in those forty years! ****************************** “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” — Robert A. Heinlein" |
