I thank God daily for my dx. It was such a kick in the butt for me. I had my priorities in llife so screwed up. My proffesion came first and then way back was my God and family. I actually think nursing took places 1 - 5 and then my husband and kids. When I had to quit my last child was just getting ready to graduate form high school and go off to college. I don't know how my husband and I would have done with the whole 'empty nest' thing if I had not been home. It was like a whole new marriage thing for us. If I had been working it would not have turned out as well.

I am very grateful for those intense years of nursing because they gave me the SSD check that I get. But I'm glad that I'm home
