RE: My oh my does this feel like a safe place
Yes. I agree, it certainly feels free. But, I am cautious. Facebook felt free at first too. I am a senior citizen now. Blows my mind but that is how I am stereotyped in this world today. I have been thru so many tragedies Shakesphere would have a hard time keeping up with mine! From serious accidents, to surgeries gone wrong, to lawsuits and pain medicine and doctors that have no clue what to do with me. Thank God I am in my right mind or they would have put me away a long time ago. I am willing to speak out because I have lived a long time and seen a lot of things. Especially in Healthcare. I was formally trained as an RN, BSN. The science of nursing. I practiced from 1986-2001. In 2001 I had a terrible accident with a tractor trailer truck. He almost won that one. It took me out of nursing completely. But I wrote a book, The Nightingale Protocol. Amazon used to have it but it is out of publication now. I need to republish it, especially now when there is no compassion in healthcare.
Yours was an example of how something good can happen out of something bad. Had you never been in that accident, would you have written and published a book?
I wish these things didn't have such a high cost. Then again, would it feel just as satisfying if something was achieved without any sacrifice?
Wishing you all the best, both health- and otherwise.
