About Me
http://michelle-als.blogspot.com/ I am a Surgery/Trauma ICU nurse and I'm in my first semester of grad school for Forensic Nursing. I live with my very supportive partner, 2 cats, and 1 big mutt of a dog. I've recently been given my first definitive diagnosis, but I'm waiting for my 2nd and 3rd opinions in December. It's been a lot to take in, but I'm staying positive and preparing for the fight.
