Back To School

Tuesday I went back to school. Well kind of.

I went over to Jamestown College to speak to a class of student nurses about my life as a vent dependant adult. I spoke for an hour about my disability and how I came to need a ventilator. Also I addressed the pros and cons of needing a vent to breathe. Thankfully there are more positives than negatives.

It was a positive experience for me, and hopefully the students learned some valuable things from my life experiences. It's important to me that people in or entering the medical field can see that life still has a high quality for vent users. There may be an opportunity to speak to another class of student nurses next year. I look forward to doing it again.

Peace,
