My Doctor and My case manager have said that volenteering at the VA and most of the places I called involves work which requires lifting or just doing jobs that reqire physical effort and with the oseoarthritis in my Hip it would create more pain and problems, I also checked into several church singles groups and they do meet in Bars so thats out for me I dont really participate in organized religon but I do belive in God I take more of a spritual approuch to faith than churches Thanks for the suggustions I did try attending chuch last year for about 6 mos last year but I lost interst people where nice there but I didnt meet anyone there.
