Funny because I am hoping to hold off at least a year...
Chatting with my wife over lunch "but if you get it done earlier you could get disability"
"Uh, I will check on that but I don't think you get disability for non-work related injuries"
She is also freaking about the stairs, but I plan on doing some dry runs with the sit&scooth method or look into borrowing crutches and do a slow one leg hop one stair at a time (note to self, check youtube for handicap stairs... I'm even noodling the idea of getting a harbor freight winch and some sort of sled/harness...
hold my beer and watch this...
Thing is my parents house is almost empty and ready to rent (ground floor house) so she has the idea I could convalesce there... but it is almost ready to rent and my brother and I are eager to start collecting that.
