I worked in mental health. I worked with kids and I was in and out of schools and houses. I had them in my car, etc. Although it was a rewarding experience ( I did it for almost 2 years) it eventually drove me nuts. The stress of working 60 hours a week, in a health setting, with kids....ugh. I...
Hi Paula,
You do need to be careful for the sake of your daughter, and it's good you are concerned with this. I have pseudmonas (I have no idea how to spell that) I don't know when I first cultured that because I wasn't diagnosed until 10 years old. However, I have a niece who has CF and we...
Thanks for your advice. I have been checking this site daily to check responses and I truly appreciate you taking time to let me know how you are. I usually do clot quickly 15-30mins. And then I'll prop myself up so I can get to sleep. It used to be scary now I'm used to it. But I'm a little...
