When I had my 25th orthopedic surgery Fibromyalgia raised it's ugly head and

I developed a horrible case of RSD. I was " encouraged " to stop working.

Not me I have too much to do here right now. I finally found what my purpose

in life is and I don't intend to give it up!

Well, ... it turned out that I had to give up my career and stop working.

.... I cried and cried and cried.

What now?

I didn't understand-I was so good at what I did... I knew deep in my heart

that I was bring up the quality of health care & physician/patient

communication. Even if is was just a tiny bit in my little world of medicine.

Who am I now...

What is my purpose now.

I was sure it was not recording all the I Love Lucy shows.

I guess I am supposed to focus on my marriage...

Suddenly separated then divorced.

OK GOD!

I know there is a plan for me for this earth but if it is not my work, not my

marriage, what the heck is it????

Running concurrently I found the CEDA list. I thought ... wow, I could pass

on my knowledge from " the other side of the glass window " . Maybe I can lend

some help to patients who are having trouble navigating through what we call

" the health care system " .

So maybe this IS my purpose and it has taken this long and such an

interesting journey to get here.

If I can help, I will.
