Can I ask what field/line of work were you in that you retired at 57? Did you want to, or were you encouraged by management? Also, how did you manage to break your foot so thoroughly?I retired in 2011 at 57. I miss the job and mostly the people I worled with but I stay in touch with them. My son got married and I now have a grandson who occupies a lot of my time. I also managed to fracture my left foot in 9 places this past December and spent 3 months in a surgical rehab which surprisingly pleasant enough. I found a wheel chair more entertaining then most and learning to go to get on and off a toilet with my foot in a fixator. That's a metal cage that goes around your foot to hold the bines in place and it weighed 15 pounds. Now im still in a surgical boot at least through the summer. Although my job was intense rotating shifts of 12 hours it worked for me in a crazy schedule I managed to be much healthier before I retired. The future holds for me my grandson and hopefully watching him grow into a man if I live that long. Anyway I have written too much but I do enjoy the board although I don't always contribute.
Oh, what's funny about this is I can read my internet posts from 14 years ago. I used to be a lot more eloquent and thoughtful. Like a teenager trying to impress people.I honestly haven't changed since I was 13. Only the stuff around me changed and the amount of knowledge I have changed.
You do sound old and apathetic now, to be sure.Oh, what's funny about this is I can read my internet posts from 14 years ago. I used to be a lot more eloquent and thoughtful. Like a teenager trying to impress people.
