Who Am I?
Ok, probably those reading want to know a bit about me. First, don’t ask me my age - a woman nevers tells her age ! I’ve been residing in Manhattan since 1998, but am now ready to leave the City, originally arriving here for dystonia medical care and treatment. The noise , environmental, rental pollution seems to becoming pervasive here especially if you live in a studio without a balcony; or one that does not allow pets , specifically Labradors. I use my fire escape as a spot for a few flower pots. But my real English-type Cottage garden resides in Upstate NY , now entangled amongst weeds. I work 2 days a week at a private Cardiologists’ office www.fratellonemedical.com as a Nurse Practitioner and 2-3 days a week in the Open Heart Unit , the same Unit where Bill recovered from Heart Surgery, at New York Presbyterian Hospital ( Yes, this year we’re no.6 in the nation amongst the top U.S. hospitals ) working as an ICU nurse. The more equipment in a patients’ room, the better I like it. You could say I’m a problem solver. I have written 2 poetic books on dystonia titled ” I’m Moving Two ” and “I’m Moving On…Are U ? ” ( available on www.amazon.com ). I’ve become an anti-Bush fan especially after trying to run thru the traffic on the Upper East Side the past 2 days. I travel during every spare time, jotting in journals frequently. Next upcoming trip : Morocco. Robert in the UK convinced me to go- deserts await me as does peace and solitude along with a culture clash.But I’ve been to Dubai, the Turkish Riveria, Malta, Egypt and elsewhere. I never tire of exploring new sites. Now - you may ask - how long have you had dystonia - am counting on 18 years ! A journey in itself. beka, RN, ANP P. S I’m a flower fanatic !
