, I was put on blood thinners, and after several months I healed from the condition. I was a preschool teacher. However, I decided I was going to make a career change.
I started working at a nursing home in diet and nutrition services. I was so excited to work and help senior citizens. When I was sick, my mother helped me, and I wanted to help others. I had experienced what it was like to not be able to help myself with the small things in life, like preparing my own meals and dressing myself. So, I started working in the kitchen. Things were going well for me until I noticed my leg was swollen after working an 8-hour shift. It was only my first day of work.
I had to quit my job after only 2 days of working. I started a new search looking for a job where I could stand, sit, and not work with sharp objects that would put me at risk of getting cut. It was kind of hard to find work. I went back to teaching children. I didn’t mind because I went to school for early childhood education. I’ve learned that if you had or have a condition like DVT and you take medication, talk with your doctor.
