About Me
I want to tell this story for every woman to read and avoid being trapped between shame and chronic pain as I was for many years. And I want you who are suffering to read it and to see that there ways out of such a trap.
I was born in the late 50s in the Midwest. Already as a teen I dreamt of becoming a nurse. To help other people during the sad days of sickness was about the best thing I could imagine for a poor farmer’s daughter to achieve. And I was overwhelmed with joy when I finally could start my training as a nurse at a small local hospital.
It was in my second year at that hospital that I had to accompany a very old and obese lady to the bathroom. She would slip and fall right into my arms. Of course I tried to stop her fall and I was successful.
But this lady was about 120kg, and I was in my prime with exactly 52kg. It was too much weight for me. This very moment I felt a sharp sting going all along my spine, and this pain would never leave me again.
