So being newly retired, what were we going to do with ourselves all day. Both of us were used to working every day. What we did was to get fat! We sat and watched tv or went to the park and strolled around leisurely. His knees got steadily worse and he was using either a cane or crutches to get around. Not good!

So what do you do all day?

Reluctant Retirement
So, what exactly is reluctant retirement? Most people work hard so that they can retire. Unfortuantely, that's not what happened to me. My DH's physical condition was deteriorating. The VAMC in Hampton, VA wasn't helping him much. We couldn't make it on what I was earning alone so we needed to do something, anything. The only useful suggestion this doctor has was to find a wheelchair or a warmer climate.
A warmer climate what was we found in FL. There the VA doctors helped us to obtain a disability pension for him from the Veterans Administration. The only catch was that if I worked, they would deduct what I made from his pension. So, I retired, reluctantly!
