Best of luck! Finding yourself suddenly out of work can be difficult. Moving to Thailand sounds interesting, though! I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing those photos, when you post them.
I found myself in a similar spot about two years ago, after falling and breaking my collar bone. I worked as a photographer at the time, and they wouldn't let me come back, because having broken bones and working with children is a liability!
I believe that finding myself out of work will help me find myself. It probably isn't as bad as it looks like. To be honest today I woke up quite hyped about what is to come and feel quite optimistic about it. Thank you for the support and I hope you have recovered and are doing well!
It forced me to revaluate. I took an interpreter training class and, now, am in a graduate degree program. The bone healed, but I still have two screws in it that the surgeon didn't want to remove.
Good luck with your next chapter of life. Sometimes unexpected changes turn out to be a blessing in disguise!
