do you see the injury that forced your early retirement not getting in the way of manual labor?  When did you get all the experience at washing windows, cleaning carpets and upholstery, repairing carpets and to what degree are you certified for water damage.
Get a rod and reel, go fishing for your dinner.  enjoy retirement, you earned it.  Go visit your friends at the fire house.  There must be some projects around the house that will keep you busy.
Be a salesman for a fire alarm company.  You are more qualified than most.
