THE most stressful day for me at work was the day I made my decision to end my chosen career field and retire..due to some physical inadequacies, I felt after spinal surgery, rotator cuff repair, and a total knee replacement I was no longer a good candidate for someone to depend their life on the fact that I would be able to come to them rapidly and provide a physical force needed to subdue someone..I felt that I was too fragile and mortal after the surgeries.
