Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Hello Liz, Those sound like fine careers. I wish I had had the opportunity of understanding my physical challenge when I was younger then I could really put my effort into it more. Yet there are reasons for everything. Definitely do what makes you Happy LIz that is most important of all. I know I had to learn that the hard way.

If I don't work with horses for my career, I would like to work with large cats or like zebras and giraffe's and elephants. I realize that they all require a lot of standing, but I think I can do it for a while and then maybe do office work or genetic stuff at a zoo.

Those hoses are very heavy and hard to hold. My uncle was one and I helped one day to put out a fire, this was a few years ago and I could not control the hose. And how to climb those ladders? With my feet, the other firemen would have to rescue me from the ladder while the house burned down. ha ha. I know the army has all that boot camp as my cousin was in that. I could not ever make it throught that experience. Teacher is good. home care worker as in house cleaning? That would be difficult for me, but maybe not others. Home care as in taking care of others with a health problems might be hard to do for some. Is insurence agent on the list? That might be a good one.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 , Both of my CMT sons love to weld. I hope they can find a job doing that. Especially Adam - he will need a trade school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hello , My experience was to find a job that involved sitting, walking, and after work lying down. Tt seems that changing positions during the day helps. Also, any method to relieve built up stresses and stiffness during the day helps a great deal. I had stress relief exercises that could be done in 5 minutes at my desk recommended by a doctor. Finally, pay attention to your limitations and DON'T overdo. As you get older these limitations will become more important. EdM from NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
