book called chronic Illness experience

[Guest guest]

I read this book recently, use to be named living with chronic illness I

believe, some time ago. I thought it was a very interesting read, and the fact

that it didn't zoom in on any one illness, although ms seemed to be the

majority, it shared experiences and thoughts from the people living with to the

people helping with the illnesses. Just wondering what any of you who have read

it thought.

thanks again for the warm welcomes!

Hi again Sharon~ this is squasch, DQ, and Dee lol. Dairy Queen indeed! add that to Dee as in Dog and you have my life's ha-ha in a nutshell. Actually, as my life has changed with health issues and self definition I have considered returning to the name "Dee Dee" as my family use to call me. The book is by Cheri Register. I like how she breaks down the chapter topics, etiquette is one that I figured I better re-read periodically as I have terrible tact...it addresses the person with the illness as well as those encountering people with a chronic illness. Much of it I could relate to, some of it I couldn't. Every day though I am thankful that I am provided for very well by my husbands skills and talents

(PTL) so I don't have to go find work because I would likely have a hard time of it. I finished a bachelor's degree in 2006 (I think) in criminal justice and haven't been able to use it unless I was interested in guarding juveniles or adults. Even the juveniles is merely guarding them as they have specialists that come in and work with them these days. Other than the satisfaction of completing it, and being on the dean's list regularly, it seems that it was for naught. Anyway, good book.Dee
