I think, in my particular case retirement would be good for about three
months, then I'd be wanting to do something and get paid for it. I base
this on a couple of times when I have had to take six weeks off work for
medical problems each time I start to feel better and then I get really
bored staying at home.

Plus you're helping others, only in a different way, by what you do here.
I don't know if your accident keeps you housebound. If not, there are other
volunteer oppportunities to help others, too. Louise, who is blind,
volunteers at her library's used-bookstore. Our library has "grandparents"
who read to young children, and if you can read Braille, or if you can
storytell, that might be something to consider too.
I love retirement. Except for my commitments at the library and our
library's used-book store, I don't have to be anywhere are any particular
time. Bookshare enables me to work anywhere at any time that I feel like it.
I thoroughly enjoyed working, because I liked the work I was doing and the
people I was working with, but having the freedom to most days, go to bed
when I want (I'm a night owl) and get up when I want, and have lunch with
friends at different restaurants, is lovely. smile
