Thanks, all. I still need to take and pass my boards to get certified to practice in 50 states. 
I just have a ton of ducks to line up very quickly. There are lots of ducks in a ton. I love what I'm doing, though, and it'll be nice to be able to go visit my dad and breathe, at some point.
While I was in school, I came up with two more paths I'd walk, if there were more of me. Please feel free to run with these ideas, if they touch you, too. One is to hold concerts to raise money for health education and medical charities. The other is to create a very wheelchair-friendly / all sorts of accessible amusement park.
We know people battling diseases ... My dad is getting his ability to walk back slowly, but it takes time, and for things like trips to a zoo, ball game or an amusement park, bringing a wheelchair is just more convenient. He's getting better at transferring, and could probably get on and off of rides (probably smart to get the fun ones cleared by his neurologist, first. Little details.), but there are tons of other people for whom that would be far less simple.
For example, wounded warriors coming back from serving overseas who are first dealing with serious changes in mobility ability, integrating back into civilian life, getting to know their kids better ... A trip to an amusement park at which mom or dad could go on all the rides, too, wouldn't be the worst idea.
My friend's dad has MS, and is now in a ser biz wheelchair 24/7. He's got two awesome grandkids, both under 10. It would be great if there were a place where they could go on a variety of rides with grandpa.
There are so many different layers to coping with changes in ability, and tons I don't know. I have no idea if I have PMs on my phone, and I need to check my email more often, but I'm around on fb if anyone wants to discuss this further. I'm all ears. Thanks.
