Tough call. Personally, I detest having to make decisions in my life based on my arthritis. However, that doesn't mean that I don't have to do just that at times. I can see the job in the morgue being a good fit, at least in terms of those days you are not at your best. Being able to sit down for a few moments won't be such a hassle within a morgue, like it would be during surgery. I think that sometimes you have to decide what is best for you and worry about everyone else second. In many ways, when you take care of yourself, you ARE taking care of everybody else because you are better at what you are doing. I see that you already made the decision to go for it, and I wish you luck. I sympathize with you. Having arthritis has changed my life in ways I couldn't imagine. Sometimes it is hard to find that line between "pain I can stand" and "wtf am I doing"....lol. I know I haven't found that happy medium and I don't have a job that requires me to stand for long periods of time. It sucks to be part of the club, but if you need someone, I'm mostly here (on the forum)...lol
