His age is in his favor.
Oh yes, he was always on his feet, rarely sat at all....his employer tried him at a diff job for a week, he could only stand 2hrs and then had to sit, then another person took over, then they went back and forth taking turns, allowing hus to sit when he needed. He can't sit or stand more then 2hrs at a time. He is very very active and this is killing him not working. But his company did him a favor; putting him on LTD, he now see's that. Thank you for replying.
