My Duke degree has opened doors for employment for my entire life! I come for an interview, they see a Duke degree with honors and immediately I'm 'in the door'. I didn't realize the impact it would have - I've worked primarily as a teacher, but also an IT specialist.
Living with Your Imperfect Back - this is a book written about my experiences living with back pain since I was 19 years old. I took 2 years off from my Duke experience to have surgery and recover, and I came back to finish with honors. Now at 60 years old, I have lived 40 years with back pain. This book shares methods of coping, pain relief, anxiety and depression relief, ways of moving that hurt less, and how to deal with doctors and other medical professionals. www.imperfectback.com
