    I am interested, although, I do have bad knees and back problem, that may limit, the extent of my physical activity.

    However, I am not limiting myself. Even though, I am concentrating, currently, on ‘Work from home’ – Remote jobs search.

    I am interested, but don’t know who to contact. I am a retired veteran, but I also am a right foot amputee, since Febbruary 2025. I haven’t yet gotten my car modified by the VA. Right now, I am mostly housebound. I have worked almost 39 of my 43 years of working in the medical field. I am 69 and single, never married
