I work part time as a chess teacher. Four days per week I visit schools throughout the day and conduct a class for an hour. Although I'm on my feet for the full hour, it's not difficult because the work itself keeps my mind too busy to remember I'm hurting. Also I have a few hours between each class to rest.

I imagine keeping this up for a year or two more, if the pain increases at its current rate. Then, I guess private tuition, where my students come to me, may be an option.

This monster has taken away my own ability to play chess on a competitive level, I used to be quite good. Teaching others keeps me surrounded in the game I once enjoyed and still love so much.

I lucky. Yes, I work, but so far with Me vs PN, I'm winning.
