Lisa's Story
Life
Let's see: in a nutshell.... 2 marriages, 2 divorces, 2 children (one from each marriage), 2 open heart surgeries, 1 pacemaker, lots of pets thru the years, had a house but lost it in divorce #2, live in apt., been here in Pensacola for the last 30 years. Bill lives here also with his family of 6 kids (3 boys, 3 girls)and his wife.
I found out when I was 18 that I have a condition called Marfan Syndrome. That explains why I was sooo tall and sooo skinny for so long. After 2 children, I've managed to gain weight. So, my 20's and 30's I looked pretty damn good. Now, at 48, I'd like to lose a few pounds!
I'm a bookkeeper for a contractor (tile biz). Worked in real estate in Orange Beach AL for awhile but gave it up just after Hurricane Ivan. I worked with apprx. 30 agents; I was the secretary. Before that, I worked as a Tech Publications Assistant for TESCO. We wrote/edit Military Training Manuals and schematics, etc. I took a few years off of work during my second marriage to have Sarah and do the whole team mom thing with the local YMCA, etc. I've gone back to college twice now and still not finished. I did find that I love to study and had a 3.9 GPA in courses for medical records and technical publications. I didn't finish the first time since I got married and pregnant 3 months later and was working full time already as a tech pub ...Expand for more
asst. anyway. When Sarah turned 4, I was told I had a huge aorta aneursym that had to be repaired. I went to AL's UAB and had the big wig at that time, Dr. Albert Pacifico, and he did a wonderful job and I was back to work in 3 months. I went back to school after 2nd divorce and working full time as a secretary. At the end of the first semester, I found I had to have my mitral valve replaced. It was done in Orlando. I didn't bounce back like the first go round. I had a rough recovery which ended up in getting a pacemaker a year later after the valve surgery. That's been 4 years ago now. Things are okay but I may have to under the knife again. Marfan Syndrome is responsible for all this surgery... aaargh.
My dad retired here in Pensacola in 1974 and I've been here ever since. The first 14 years of my life I was a Navy Brat and moved all over. I've been to three high schools... don't even ask how many elementary schools cuz I couldn't tell ya.
My brother, Bill, has real estate and has his own contracting business.
Would love to hear from all old friends from my years in Summerville, Ladson area; Anita, Linda, Cindy, Jenny, John, Terry, Teresa, Keith etc. Kevin Russo from Escambia High here in P'cola, and all Micey, Marvin, Teresa, Debbie, Tracy, Renee, Ronnie, Ann, Gretchen, Janna, and etc... from Washington High here in P'cola also.
