Yea that did kinda suck but my insurance was awesome, had a $15.00 co-pay,nothing for hospitalization and they paid for Kaits vest, so i guess it really wasn't too bad, also their 401k plan was great, Wendy's was a great company to work for.

It would be hard for me to do your job, i would be telling these people that i have CF and trying to talk them out of abortions. I am not judging you or trying to start an arguement here but it would be hard for me to help with abortions especially seeing that you, yourself have CF, i think that it would be an emotional strain on me.

I was a truck driver for 23 years. I spent 5 of those years truckin' cross-country. I've been to all the lower 48 states & driven in every major city in the nation. The last 10 years of my career I worked for a small, family owned trucking company. I pulled an end-dump & flatbed with them. We hauled for the local copper mines. They were the best people I ever worked for. They were a real God-send. When I started going down hill, my truck sat each time I was hospitalized. Nobody drove my truck until it was confirmed I would be medically retired. I loved my job & there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss driving. Its a real rush to be able to control a truck that big in big-city traffic & do it safely. I retired with over 2 million safe miles under my belt. I'd give anything to be able to go back to driving.

i'm an Emergency Telecommunicator for Fire, EMS and Police! been at it for ten years and love it!!!
Hey thanks, we are in Los Angeles and the graffiti team is rapid response. Keep up the good work.
I have a gluten free business, work from home and a small warehouse. We wholesale and retail gluten free products online. Before that I owned a real estate company, as a broker. I use to own a juice bar. I worked in marketing the years before that. One thing I should of done is to accrue enough ssi credits to go on disability. Most of us never think we need to stop working, but ssdi and disability are a good part of proactive financial management. Now I could probably go on disability but have to wait a few years to get enough credits. So I pace myself and work as much as I can.

I'm a certified engineering technician. More specifically my job title is Transportation Construction Inspector II. I work for a private engineering firm providing consulting services to the state DOT and turnpike authority. When not consulting for the state I work for my firm in the private sector in civil engineering I specialize in soil mechanics, foundations, concrete, reinforced structural masonry and reinforcing steel. I spend 95% of my time outside (no matter the weather). In the last 3 years I have seen my desk at my permanent office 10 times (typically there is a field office I can utilize). I absolutely love it. My work has me walking a minimum of 5 to 6 miles a day on site. I get to mix brain work with physical work.

I work for a healthcare company, Kaiser Permanente. Ive been very lucky to have been employed for 17 years now. I never had the chops for a high stress high pay job........instead I opted for stress free and stability. For my needs, it works perfectly having free healthcare.

My husband works for Kaiser, he is a lab technician. I have insurance through them and I LOVE IT!!! I couldn't ask for a better health team.
I am the one with CF and I too am a lab technician, I work in a hospital lab running your cbc's, urines, drug levels, sputum cultures etc. It's all I have ever wanted to do. I have an Associate's Degree and have gone back to school full time to get my Bachelor's degree. I am also a mom to 2 teens, no CF.
I can understand the work anonymous does because I decided before kids that I didn't want to bring a child into this world that would have CF. Personal choice. I never had to actually abort but that is the decision I chose.
