phoebe love, all of those years volunteering at the schools for your kids is huge. I bet you could get an awesome reference. Many employers out there will appreciate your years of care, both in the home and to ill parents. You may choose to get a part-time job completely out of your field so that your back isn't compromised. I mean, you are so creative...you could be an asset to any company who makes/designs jewellery...you could perhaps become a sales person in that area. Or maybe you could make more of your own stuff, and start your own business?
