i met henry in 2006 while at a college for disabled in mansfield uk

he always smiled that was what made henry henry

only prob was all he could do was smile and drool

his days were spent in a wheelchair with a talker which he operated with his mouth, weekends we used to have brunch in the college restaurant, he couldnt speak so his food was chosen for him

but in the evenings everyone met in the bar and henry always had people round him

he had a very good personality which drew you to him

he used to write lovely poetry typing it with his mouth into his talker

its not the disability that holds you back

its the person that looks at you in the mirror everyday

and its that same person and only that person that can start the change

I love this, thanks for posting this. There are times when ya do get very down, but fortunatly I am back up!

omg READ first! annoying, there are no longer 2 just me and two fantabulous kids. I am blessed. I wish Art the best and everything he has ever wished for.


I did read first, thank you very much.

However, that doesn't stop me to reply to one post I am happy to reply to after another...if I would reply to all in one go my reply would never get finished.

So if you have an issue with it, that I take one step after another, than that is your problem not mine.

I did read that now you say you would move on....if so, I wish you all the best....however, that doesn't mean I just believe everything from the innnnnnnernett....[:D]

So quite frankly, I liked the suggestion from the person to which I had commented and therefore responded to it. You don't like it...tough...but good luck anyway...

Back when the kids were nine and eleven, I gave up the second job and just worked full time for seven bucks an hour.  That was back when I was really sick.  I was a buck o five soaking wet and was working twelve hour shifts doing manual labor to put food on the table.  Eight hundred and fifty bucks a month was more than we had back then.  There weren't laptops, field trips, and ball games because Mom was too busy putting food on the table.  Every other weekend, our treat was to watch Disney movies on the VCR and get a take and bake pizza. 

A year later, I was volunteering at women's shelters.  I did it because I knew it could be done.  It wasn't the same challenge, but it's the same kind of inspiration.

Today, My grown daughter, with kids of her own, often calls and asked Me how I managed it all.  She thanks Me continually for everything I did.  Cries because she misses Me so much and credits Me for the person she is today.  I was just being a parent.

Agrees with that above. Been there and will be again.

I'm vaguely familiar with them.

I still hope she does leave him though. She has children to think about. The sooner she leaves him the sooner she can get off CM forums and onto a parenting forum, where she might get some advice while they're still adolescents and things can change.

Nobody is completely hopeless.


Wow.  I didn't know that the two were mutually exclusive.  Seems to me that she got a lot of cold hard facts on this thread - the same (or better) than she would get on a parenting thread without having to explain the whole submissive stuff. 

Having seen a number of people who work in the fields that are relevant - medical, psych, social services - I can't imagine she'd get anything better than she got here. 




But some of us are sluts, sunny. We arent good enough to give out that type of information.



tammystarm -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 10:54:25 AM)

Who said u wasn't?



tazzygirl -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 11:09:33 AM)

Its a holdover from another thread, tammy. Why havent you taken your NCLEX exam?

What are your degrees in?   What certificates do you hold?



tammystarm -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 12:16:58 PM)

see above. I am not to that point to take that exam, i was close... but i decided i couldnt take care of this house Art and the kids, i wasnt able to focus at all on school. So after a winter of being the maid to everyone and getting more depressed and sick, i decided to finish my aesthetician license because well its an easy one, and you can make really great money and your own hours if you know where to go. I worked in a med spa and have that training from there.... so i want to go back into that, aestheticians can make a fortune selling jane iredale and obagi! doing microderms, chemical peels etc are so fun to do! And yes, there was a point where i knew that i would have to intern (as a nursing student) and i didnt know how i would get through those crossroads with my condition, and it scared me. But as an anastesiologist you can work in lets say a pain clinic or private practice and make (for the most part your own hours.) You can also free lance, that would have worked for me. But getting through the grueling physical internship , yeah i got scared, and didnt know what to do,,,, at one point i had myself convinced i would just be nurse jackie, and take anything i could to get through it... then i realized that was a really dumb thought......



tammystarm -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 12:30:32 PM)

sad and happy. Bittersweat. My old signature line is now gone. Moving on can be so hard to do. One hand I am thankful and look so forward to the future with the kids and I, and then there is the tam (that is what Art called me) that had so many fun times with him, loved to see him smile.



tazzygirl -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 12:44:51 PM)

No offence tammy, really, when I say this.

But there is no way you could be working on a Master's in any nursing program without taking the NCLEX. One of the requirements is a Nursing license. Another is working full time for at least a year as a nurse.

The requirements for masters is very strict.



tammystarm -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 1:03:16 PM)

I know that tazzy.... i was never my intention to say i even held a nursing degree, but that was my goal... the 7 yrs it took to become a nurse anatesiologist. I started to say something to you before about that but several times in fact got side tracked. I was about three classes short of getting there......



tazzygirl -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 1:10:21 PM)

I cannot speak for the other nurses who post on these boards. I can only speak for myself. But, from the nurses I do know, I can speak with confidence. We take our profession extremely seriously. There are enough stories about people posing as nurses, or claiming nursing experience, who have none. It quickly becomes apparent and I, for one, will call bullshit on it every time.

So, by your post, you were three classes short of finishing your Masters? Or your Bachelors?



tammystarm -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 1:13:29 PM)

I have never once claimed i was a nurse... i went to nursing school with that goal of continueing on ... had support with many of my professors and excelled in it.... but it came to the point, moving in at Art's that i could not do it...sucked... then depression and more sickness, so i decided to finish the aesthetics program that i had started before the house fire. (yrs ago).



tammystarm -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 1:15:18 PM)

ps the only claim i laid was those stated a couple pages back... period no more. I am a NCLMT, CR, and advanced aromatherapist.... been this and that..
and agreed still cannot spell.......



tammystarm -> RE: Fibro, school, house of 6 (7/10/2011 1:20:07 PM)

~tears bittersweat~ as i did, he changed his profile too. I wish Him the world.
