Negative: Near-constant pain from the herniated discs, and the burgeoning arthritis in my joints
Positive: The pain being a catalyst for me to realize that I was not only burned out on nursing, but that physically I probably wouldn't be able to do it for the 20+ years until retirement. This set me on my current career path as a student in Speech Pathology...and I'm loving it!!
