Sorting out my life
Recently: 8 discussion posts, 6 hugs received more …
I’m relatively odd, compassionate person with a wide spectrum of scientific interests, especially in medicine and physiology. Years ago I was preparing for school of veterinary medicine and worked as a veterinarian tech for 3 years. I was hired to clean up after the animals, to feed them, but as time went by, I was trusted to administer medications and assist in procedures and surgeries. I loved it, but the worst part was always euthanasia. I dropped out of my studies and quit my job for a number of personal, financial, medical and emotional reasons. I’m happily married to a man 7 yrs younger. We survived preeclamsia and my daughter was born via cesarean. She has hemangioma at the nasal bridge that was operated on. More surgeries are needed. While still pregnant, I learned my beloved cat had diabetes. I was racing against the clock to research how to save the life of then 13-old diabetic cat complicated with chronic viral condition. I was fortunate it worked and he’s alive and well 3 years post-diagnosis. I still read a lot of medical journals and envy the professionals. I work as a real-estate accountant, my husband, who is 7 years younger, is a computer technician.

View all in progress Goals
I was born to an alcoholic father and codependent mother. The family fell apart when I was 12. Now I'm forced to live with my toxic mother who is a caregiver to my 2 year old.
I'm a 32 yr old female suffering from PCOS since puberty. I've overcome the pain of infertility and became a parent in 2006.
I've been living with clinical depression since I was 13. I'm 32 now.
I'm a 31 yr old female with chronic illness which dramaticallt complicated my pregnancy and recovery.
I was diagnozed around 6 months of pregnancy.
My daugher Rebecca is almost 2.5. She was born with hemangioma(a vascular birthmark) and had it partially removed. We're dealing with terrible 2's now.
My hypertension started at 22 probably due to polycystic ovarian syndrome or excess of male hormones.
It mostly happens to me 2 hours after what I consider a balanced breakfast : some fat, some carbohydrates and protein.
My father was found dead in his apartment 2 years ago. My grandma followed a month later. I had no chance to say good-bye to either one of them.
I cant help it, I still want to be a veterinarian. So at 32 its a brave desicion to continue where I left 10 years ago.
My pre-pregnancy sex drive is refusing to come back 2.5 yrs later!!!
I went through hell and back. Trust me on that! Keep having flashbacks and nightmares.
