As you have stated, your currently on full medical disability from the military and with Social Security. Are you talking about getting back into the labor market?


I was 30% for 20 years and did fairly well considering but as I got worse due to the stress of working on the hospitals crisis unit and pushing myself I asked for a re-evaluation and received 100 percent and 10 years later permanent and total. Also I have a permanent retirement I’d card now and receive all benefits including my kids college being paid for. All sounds great but I’m not done with life and want to climb a few more achievement mountains, the problem is what I stand to lose including my health if I take on to much etc. just frustrated.
