Good Morning birdgirl! Wow..thats a nice post to see..someone actually saying good morning,thank you! I don't work (get paid lol) anymore and yes I am married..I do volunteer work now..all over the country. You come from a family that specializes in health so I assume (uh-oh) lol, that you of all people understand traveling nurses. I had a "breakdown" and still struggle sometimes to maintain my mental health and I always feel better when I see that my actions (work) actually help make "things better" for people..Its so hard for me to see suffering..it affects me sometimes to the point I have to basically shut the world out and realize and accept that I can't make everyone well and happy....am I making sense? My main priority at home right now is Domestic Violence for illegal hispanic women..it is becoming a passion for me to translate in violent cases so that pertinent information is not lost in translating for them..I married well this time and just really like to help women in any way I can...this "thing" with me about unprotected sex is that I have worked with crack and heroin babies that are abandoned and the majority of them are also born with HIV and I hate their mothers for taking their chance at life from them..I really do..I know I shouldn't hate and I fight it but the truth is the truth..anyway..I hope this makes sense. I would post more but I have to watch what I do reveal on here so please don't think I am being vague. If you take the time to read my post history you will see that I am not a "ballbreaker" type of woman but I care for women in general and detest men that abuse us. Oh..and until 2 more years have passed and we (my husband and I) continue to receive negative results on our tests..we do to this day use condoms. Am I that over cautious about this issue to you? Seriously imo..all it takes is a few seconds to roll that condom on and cut the chances of infection..stds affect so many people! At one time in my life I was Charge Nurse on ICU..then moved to CICU...but that was many years ago..many. Whats your story?
