I started back part-time in May of ’97, and then I kind of went back full-time, in, it was like August of ’97. So it was almost a full year I was out between, you know, hospital and rehab. And, part of me really looked forward to going back to work because I really enjoyed the job; I’ve worked at McDonalds since I was 16 years old. So I was one of those guys that’s got the ketchup in the veins and everything. And I really enjoy the job that I do. And so, going back to work was a pleasure that way. It was a little scary the other way, because I didn’t know all what to expect, and I think people didn’t know how to work with me and such. My insurance carrier, it was actually my insurance carrier that suggested someone come out and do a little class for my whole department, which was about 40 people, of how to kind of work with people in wheelchairs, and that was great.
