Lorraine's Story

Since that time I have been working in the medical bussiness. I have worked in Acute care hospitals, Convalescent hospitals, Home Health, School nursing. I have worked in a county Jail and county Behavioral Health outpatient clinic. I have done some teaching of nursing assistants, worked for the Riverside county office of education in their disabled special Education classes in Thermal, Ca.

I look back on my live and see some things that I would change. But, all in all my life has been very interesting in caring for others in their time of need and helping them to heal. I guess that is what God wanted me to do, caring for others.
I am now the great aunt to three nephew's and one niece. Three which live only 4 hours away and I love them very much and visit them as often as I can. Their grandpa is my second brother Donald.
This year 2020-2021 has been a very hard time for me and my family. We lost my brother Don to Covid-19. I have been diagnosis with Congestive Heart Failure, ArtFib, and COPD. I now have to wear oxygen 24/7, which is a big pain. But, I still can get around on my own, I just take my oxygen with me. I have been doing a lot of crafts during the shut down, I have hung some of the pictures on the wall. I take pictures of them and save them in the computer. Boy, do I have a lot.
