| I forgot to do mine.  Hope its not too late.  I will have been married for 32 years in April, have a 27 year old single son.   I worked in a hospital for 24 years.  Starting out as a Nurse Assistant, Pharmacy Tec., Admissions Clerk, Switchboard Operator, and the past 12 years worked in a very busy Rehab as Office Manager in which I worked harder those last years then on any of the other jobs.  I went out on disability/early retirement at the age of 54 when diagnosed with IBC.  My hobbies are sewing, painting, knitting, crocheting, gardening and traveling.  I volunteer at my church, do a monthly church newsletter, look in on people who need help, take a friend 89 years old shopping, out to eat once a week, do phone support to other bc patients, belong to 3 bc support groups.  Now, you ask me why am I not still working?  As you all know here all these things I do I can choose when to do them.  Some days I do nothing and others I more. If I am not able to get to sleep then I don't worry about it because I will sleep in the next morning.  Only you people who have been there and done it understand what I am saying.  Some of my friends and relatives just don't get it!!!  Well, as I tell them they need to walk in my shoes only a few days and they would know why this is the way I live my life.  To the fullest possible and yet keep my quality of life around many, many doctor appointments. After all is said and done I am still able to say, "My life is good".  Sandy |
