I am an ex dental nurse, I was working full time until I had a disabling relapse in August 2007 leaving me unable to walk for a while, I have not been able to return to my work due to the nature of that relapse and combined with more recent relapses affecting my hands; this left me unable to hold a pen let alone small instruments, you could say I am medically retired, but without a pension; I will not quit. My husband is reasonably supportive. UPDATE JAN 2011, I passed my 1st English course, I am about to start my next Course in Grammar, which will give me the diploma in English language.
