JLB Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I'm in training to further my abilities as a battered women's counselor/advocate. I had wanted to take these classes for some time, but the first 3 sessions involved sitting for a total of 20 hours. You all know what pooling circulation can do to POTS symptoms, so I hedged. But I wanted this so BAD.I decided finally that I had to try. Today was the last of the "marathon" sessions - the rest of them are in 3-hour increments, and I can do those. So, it looks like I'll be getting that certification I've wanted so badly after all, sometime around the second week of March.I wanted to tell you all about it, because you guys are really an inspiration to me - the way you keep living your lives, and the unbeatable spirit of the members on this board. IOW, I honestly don't think I would have tried this without knowing you people. I wanted to thank you all for your honesty and openness, and the hope and support you offer. I had some pretty bad moments physically, but got through it. And you know, if I can do this, then college will be even easier... Thanks, all.JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnA Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Congrats on your accomplishments. I was wondering if when you have to sit for a long time if you sit with your kness to your chst or legs folded under you. I often compenste like this. However, it does not look very professional.Dawn Anich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
