The histotech makes the slides that the pathologist needs to look at under the microscope and does any special staining that will show up the bacteria or other features that might not show up on regular H&E staining. I've always affectionately called our department "The Parts Department"! I loved my job, but I was developing COPD (probably from all the xylene and formaldehyde I breathed over the years) and decided to retire at 65. That was 2 years ago and I haven't regretted it. I'm enjoying quilting! And hey, I'm breathing better! |
Operating room nurse till one child started having seizures. Now stay at home mom to a teen/starting long arm quilting for others (been quilting on a frame since '05, THIS frame since '09). mom to a female AF pilot (deployed), male nursing student (kid I quit work for, and he is healthy by the way..and driving!), and almost 16 yr old son.

I worked and slept.My little brother loved it because he would wake me and ask for my car and money and I would say sure. When I would wake up I would think was that real or a dream? LOL
