I am currently in transition as I try to go onto SSDI. I have worked with people with disabilities in some capacity for over 25 years. I am at a point where I must look at the wear and tear that is occurring with my own body, thus I am now looking at going on disability. I am hoping that the new free time will allow me more time with my family and friends, something that has been at a very low level while trying to work.
I am active in the local bicycling community as a United States Cycling Federation official. I am still able to ride my bike, though not as far as I would like, which keeps me active without wear and tear on my joints.
I have 2 wonderful children, and we are expecting my second grandchild any day now.
