Hi Kendall. As far as retiring sooner than later…if you’re feeling good & want to keep working then why not? Yes, having CLL & having a compromised immune system plays a part as far as energy at the job, what type of job you have, etc. If nothing has changed for you health wise tho then continue if you want to. Can also consider working just part time? That’s all my system can handle…I used to be full throttle at work..loved it..45 plus hours a week, etc. CLL & the fatigue changed all of that, so I now work 15 hours a week. Remember too that life is to be lived, embraced & enjoyed so you may just want to retire before 70!
There are many, myself among them, who would NEVER recommend taking Covid shots. Study both sides of that debate before getting any further c-19 shots.
Thanks for insights. I nolonger take call and limit any high risk or stressfull surgeries. Actually enjoying myself more now. Have to be careful with airplane travel tho. Appreciate your feedback.
At your age I was taking vitamins and vaccinations and eating healthy plus visiting the gym. I avoided crowds or grandchildren that were ill. This year my Wife was infected 3 times by the grandchildren and I was healthy all year. I think if we protect ourselves we can have better health. I hope you can find the benefits of being healthy by protecting yourself with easy habits that will benefit your health and not worry about being ill.
