More about me

I just joined Eons a short while ago. At that time, I was unable to complete my profile; so I am doing so now. I am a67 year old widow who has led a bit of an odd life.  I married at 18, had my first child @ 19 and 4 more quickly after. I divorced my first husband and re-married in the same year.  Money was pretty tight, so I always worked. At 36, I decided to go to college for a social work degree.  I was already a practicing social worker, but no degree kept me @ a lower salary. It took 20 years to complete the degree requirements; but I was already in management by vritue of being good @taking tests. I usually came out 1 or 2 and the agency had to promote me. I worked for the same agency until my retirement in 2001.  My spouse died in 2005, after a year+battle with cancer.  I was his caretaker, he died At home and went to the grave with all faculties intact; this was certainly a blessing. I fell ill in 2006 and wound up n a coma due to meds mixup.  Or at least that's what doctors thought. I remained in coma 7 days and finally woke up. After rehab etc., living with my daughter, more rehab, I was able to begin the second part of my life. I am trying to do things differently.  I practice yoga, do aerobic and am eating better.  I figure that I was given a decond chan and should do better than the first time.
