    What to do for stay at home work?

    I love to teach but it's hard when I'm sick. I don't like to be around preschool age kids and get really tired. I am curious to know what kind of stay at home work there is that I can do without getting scammed or spend an x amount of money.

    Coughing up blood

    Having a relationship with someone with Cystic Fibrosis

    Ask her questions. Talk about what you and her feel about anything and everything. Respect her feelings when she doesn't want company while she is sick. But when she does want company bring her a little something to make her smile like a little movie you two enjoy. Take baby steps with each...

    Pleas help! Need to switch jobs to be healthier

    I am very close to having to a lung transplant. I got all the testing done to get prepared. Now it is a wait and see.

    what to do when i get frustrated/sad/discouraged

    I know my parents want to do anything for me and have discussed my thoughts about spending their money on me. I can't stop feeling guilty and thankful. I feel guilty that they spend their limited income on me and they need that money for them if anything happens.
