I was volunteering there for like 6 months then one day the old activities assisstant just walked out. Because I always showed up earlier than what they said I had to and would be there later than I had to they offered me the job. It is a very fun job. I love it. I do becareful so I do not hurt myself worse. It took me a while to figure out how to push the residents but I have it all figured out. I have only mentioned a couple of times that I have this disease to the residents. I know they are suffering enough and do not need to hear my problems on top of it all. When I do have a bad day I try to distract it by talking about other things with them or the other ppl that work there. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't so I just grit my teeth and try to keep going but it slows me down. The most embarassing part of it all is the sweating. Where this goes from fingertips up the right arm up the neck and down the back I have horrible sweat in the right arm pit. So I just keep my arm down when around ppl so they dont see. I need to see if there is some sort of pad I can put there for extra protection. My step mom suggested I try a mens deodorant and see if that would help me out. I have tried all the womens and the only one that seems to do even just a little bit of good is the Degree Clinical Strength. Do any of you have any suggestion for this? And I'm sorry it took me so long to write back just have been busy.
I am so glad to hear you have found something that has inspired your life. My Dad always told me to work through your pain. Prior to the last year and a half I worked in a hospital and I loved helping other people especially the elderly, most of them were so darn cute. God Bless, you are starting a new chapter in your book!
