Hi Poppyjohn

*admin edit* I am seriously considering this for my future also, considering the rate of decline in my hands, and I'm also working toward morphing my job (self-employed computer consultant) into something less manual and more cerebral. I have to keep working to pay insurance premiums for at least 8 more years when I achieve Medicare age.
