Dorothy's Story
College
I stared college at the tender age of 33, wondering what in the world I was doing there for the first semester, I used to sit in my vehicle and cry. I wondered if I in fact had lost my mind. After much conversation with my husband and many tears, he said with so much encouragement "this is what you've always wanted and I'm not gonna let you quit," I some how made it through. He was and still is my hero. He helped me make it through 2 semesters of Algebra and then I was well on my way. I worked as a LPN for two years on the week end 12hour shifts and went to school Monday through Friday. He cooked, cleaned and helped the boys with school work and other school functions and yes we made it.
Though several of my classmates got divorced in that two years, Eddie's and my relationship just kept right on growing. We even sold our home, moved in with my mother to take care of her during her failing health and built and remodeled a home big enough for all of us with a Mother-in Law appartment on one end of it. Due to much sadness, Mom passed away two weeks before we got to move in. This none of my family regrets because we loved and cherished the four years we were living with Mom. As it has turned out,Eddie's health has been bad for several years. He has had 7 heart attacks and triple bypass open heart surgery and is now disabled but thank God we had the foresight f...Expand for more
or me to go back to school so we could make it financially.
We are very happy and now our family has grown from 5 to 10. We have 1 wonderful Daughter-in Law, 2 more one the way. Michael will marry Suzanne on Nov. 20 this year and Eric and Cassie are not quite ready yet.We have 2 beautiful Grandchildren 1 boy Ian Tyler 9yrs. and 1 girl Cameron Alexandra who is 3yrs. What a joy they are! We enjoy traveling. I have been fortunate to travel to Mexico,California,Montana,Idaho,Utah,Wyoming,Washington D.C.,Washington State,Maryland and Nevada in the last several years. Hope to take another cruise this coming year.
Workplace
I have been a nurse since 1981, I started as a LPN then after 10yrs. I went back to college and received my Associoate Degree and became a R.N. I have enjoyed the last 13yrs as an Oncology Nurse at WMC. My job is very rewarding and sometimes very sad. I have met some truly wonderful people in my job and have built lasting friendships through the years. I have taken care of some very interesting people intelligent, VIP'S, authors, famous people,Dignitaries from other countries and some quite funny people. My job is very stressful at times but, I really enjoy time spent getting to know people from all walks of life. I do quite a bit of teaching and preceptor new employees.I think it takes special people to be nurses and I am just grateful to be one.
