    Thursday, February 28, 2008 | An Educational story

    Here is an interesting update for you.  I talked to my supervisor about what happened yesterday at the training, and he called it a "minor concern," which is a good way of looking at it.  He and I both agreed that the lady who came up with that exercise in regards to my actions could have been completely avoided.  I did learn that the next time for me is to not "test...

    Goal-  Remove from situation, get help, set boundaries, strong, whole, and c...

  • Want to meet with others in a support group.

    Tuesday, April 21, 2009 | An Educational story

    I feel like I've been over-medicated. I don't know if my symptoms are from the CHD or the med. At times I feel loggy and fatigued. How can I tell if its the CHD or the meds? I remain reasonably active as a 75-year old. I play golf, work out at the gym several times a week and swim. Does anyone know of a support group on the North shore of Boston?
