Good luck with your new life and keep your head up as a lot of us will be praying for you and that is the best that a person can have done for them.
I was eligible for retirement (35yrs...had to make the 55yr birthday) yesterday...and I got up and went to work today, so I know what you mean about not wanting to retire just yet...I really need the structure that work requires, so I hope to do it a while longer.
GOD bless you.
Lightman, best of luck with the ms and retirement. Enjoy the family and yourself!
Best of luck to you
everyone has offered up good advice and I can't add any

From one lineman to another good luck with retirement I will pray for you to be healed.
God bless, Godspeed and find something to keep your mind and body in the game!

Good luck in your retirement! Prayers for the MS to go into remission! Torn rotator cuffs both shoulders and wrecked lower back ended my work career at 46. Took me awhile to get used to not working because of my work ethic. Sitting doing nothing was doing me in so I started a small business that keeps me challenged now and then. Plus all the extra house projects I needed to get done, plus I got back into reloading after being out of it for 20+ years. The key is stay busy to distract yourself from the medical garbage that seems to ruin to much of my life.
Thanks for the kind words and thoughts, everyone. Its slowly sinking in that the late night callouts and long hours are over. I plan to hunt more, learn to fish, shoot and cast more, and to travel some with the Wife. Then there are the Grandchildren. I've been wanting to do some kind of project like restoring an old Jeep or Scout. Wow, how did I have time to work?
As far as the MS goes, I'm going to meet it head on. Thanks again, everyone.
I'm hoping 6 months from now you're wondering how you ever found time to work. Don't know much about MS but I'm hoping for the best; take good care of yourself and enjoy your retirement.

Going out with bang is not the best terms for electric guys! Electricity gives me great caution! My brother does it for Nat'l Grid.
Sounds like you have a good positive outlook re the MS. That's probably the best approach. Hope that path is smooth as possible.

Retirement is highly under-rated ! Best wishes that yours is more than you ever hoped it could be.
After being retired for 10 years, one of my favorite things is to crack an eye open on a cold snowy morning, chuckle a little and turn over for another half hour of sleep. It's delicious.
