I too had to look at a career change once I was well enough to re-enter
the work force. I had been a technical instructor, but found it too
exhausting and involving too much standing. My company was very
understanding, and I am now an instructional designer (I develop the
courses). I also am able to work a 32 hour week and get full benefits,
which is a godsend. Let us know what you find that can keep your
interest up without exhausting you.....Ann
