I was a stay at home mother. Then I moved back in with my parents and they were helping me through the long, nasty divorce.Eventually things turned around and I was their caretaker. I had taken a first aid/CPR class when I heard my father had been diagnosed with chronic heart failure. Only to have to use the CPR on my mother within a few months. When I saw the instructor again, I told him that he should have told us to remove dentures when doing the CPR. He was taken aback that I had had to use it so soon after learning it. I also have had to learn the heimlich for my dad several times.
