And you guys thought I was crazy....  |
A) fixed.
B) nothing wrong with that at all. the only strings being my wife's family: two sons still living here, mom&dad may go when we go, sister still living here (the one she's closest too, to boot).
btw, this is still all a daydream. i appreciate the responses because they have touched on things that i hadn't thought of or contain small pieces of info that will help in my decision.
basically, i was just tested for cognitive ability and behavior. natch, i scored off the chart in cognitive ability with a strong trend toward memory (remembering things that had nothing to do with each other). i had thought that my brain was fried, but these tests show that i still have it.
since i started life as a computer programmer, hired right out of high school, it is only natural that that will play some part in my future, whether it be major or minor. i already have a strong innate ability to get people to do what i want them to do (10 years as a manager) so business management may play a role, as well. interesting to note that the two things i excel in can be combined to form a solid resume. and, of course, i would list my previous experience and have to explain it during an interview.
but i do have a good recommendation from the testing doctor, which will be forwarded to Voc Rehab. the case worker i got assigned to is the team leader at the site, and she has basically stated and implied that whatever i decide to do she will endorse. i've never had an opportunity like this before, where someone has basically said here's a blank check, do what you want to do, so i am kinda in a spin over it. the decision between the money or the education will obviously affect the rest of my life.
there is also a possibility that i cannot complete schooling due to the physical aspect, and then we would basically be right here again, where the court would have to decide if i am really employable and faking it to get the money or if i am truly 100% disabled (4 doctors surveyed). i don't know how anyone in their right mind could think i was faking this after the surgeries i've had, the meds i take everyday and the computer i have implanted in my back... why would anyone subject themselves to so much pain just for the money?
