About Me: I did hard physical labor until I was 38. I graduated with a BS in Education in 1996. I was always able to count on my body to do whatever I wanted it to do, run, swim, lift weights, etc... I am barely able to walk some days now. I have had to give up so many of the activities I enjoyed. I'm frustrated, angry with ... Thank goodness for my wonderful supportive wife. I still teach full time at a correctional facility.
