First let me thank all the nurses on the board. Its a hard job and I am very grateful to all the nurses I have had after surgeries. My first 2 were in a hospital where the care was substandard at best. My second two were at Emory in Atlanta. Best nurses in the world. I tried my best to not call them unless it was necessary. I was told by one nurse that they wished all there patients were like me. I always said Thank you and that I understood it could be a nasty job.
Now my jobs. I was a SAHM for many years. After my divorce, in 1990 I worked in Kroger, as a security guard at night at NCR, Sewed bathing suits for a bit, worked as a leasing agent in an apartment complex , as a parttime sales in a upholstery fabric store, Worked in a herb shop for a few years and finally managed two shops loved that job. Worked for CVS hated that one. Then worked in a medical supply shop and went to school to be a massage therapist, loved doing that and I was a good 20 years older than the other students or more. I was 48 lol . However a aortic anyersum was discovered and after badly done surgery and following the hernia surgery I could no longer work. Took me 6 years to get my disablility.My second surgery for the same things was at Emory last year and this year. I just moved from GA ( my daughter had enough of me) to VA to live with my brother (blessings on him) because my disablity isn't enough for me to live on. I have good days and bad ones and after 9 years am finally learning to live with them
I get my own quilt room here yea!!!
So many different people are drawing to quilting. You are all so interesting..
