Judy's Job

After a couple of years, Judy thought that she was strong enough to try working at her old profession as a hospital lab technologist. She took a job in Sacred Heart Hospital in Norristown and for the next six years worked there for just a couple of hours a day and for two days a week. At first she worked at the microscope with special equipment that was made for her and later at teaching the students to work in the lab.
In all this time, both Claire and I had to go with her. I would drive them there and Claire would get her ready for whatever had to be done. Claire and I would then return home and go back again a short time later for the return trip. It was a lot of trouble for all three of us but we believe it was necessary to keep Judy alive in mind and spirit. As it turned out later, this was a good experience for Judy when she was writing her textbook and the second edition. It was also a valuable addition to her resume and helped to get her present job as a medical proofreader for a medical publisher.
