You're welcome. I know how you feel, I've just left my job. Due to having a degenerative neurological condition, which has caused me to lose control of my left hand.
I can still drive ok, but its a nightmare trying to do air lines and the like.
Dont know what i will be doing next, I've been lorry driving for the last 37 years
The dogs loving me home everyday, not sure about the wife though

update on my position..i have been doing physio for last few weeks,however doctor at the hospital said i've got 2 options..have an operation,which will mean 6 weeks in a sling,then 6 weeks of physio or carry on doing the phsysio. gave me 2 months to decide. my plan is to carry on the physio,and get back to work in 3 weeks..and see how i am when i go back to the hospital for my appointment.

a further update..i decided not to have the Operation (for now anyway),and went back to work April 15th. So,been back 8 months and still Living The Dream
will be doing physio for the rest of my life,to keep my strength up,but hey ho
