FWIW, my father was a house painter. In his mid to late fifties his diabetes caught up with him and he lost both his legs. He adjusted to prostheses sufficient to navigate ladders.

He lived another twenty years and died at 79 of causes unrelated to either diabetes or its sequelae.

Good luck, Jim. Since you are a charter member of Albert Jay Nock's Isaiah's Job and one of the exclusive 400 or so, we need you back soon. For those who don't know either who Albert Jay Nock or his ever more quoted essay, go: HERE.

Thank you so much for calling that site to my attention. It does fit Jim’s job doesn’t it? Very interesting and a keeper.
