Hi Gary ,sorry to hear of your problem,It is definitely not a nice feeling,particularly if you have responsibilities , mortgage and a wife and kids to run, people get used with their lot and when change is pushed on them they feel mighty uncomfortable The same happened to me 20 yrs ago after a work accident. Their idea of rehab was to sack you,just when I had a young family and mortgage,I not winging,what I am saying things always seem to work out,best of luck with looking
Kind regards Peter
