Success even with KC

Postby Sallyuk » Tue 26 Sep 2006 9:39 am

Hi all :D !

I am so excited and happy :lol: . I have completed my midwifery degree even with this damn disease :o . I just got the results and I have passed my BSc (Hons) in Pre-registration midwifery (3 years full time) with a 2:1 - fantastic :wink: .
So just remember it doesn't have to be all bad with KC. There were times when I thought my eyes would burst with all the reading and computer work :cry: but I got there in the end. I even have a new job :) and I start on the 1st October as a full time midwife at a hospital in Hertfordshire. Wish me luck.

Sally

Well done Sally and good luck in the new job.

I know there will be people who have a seriously hard time with KC but for others it won't ever really impact on their lives.

Well done Sally!!!
KC is about facing the challenges it creates rather than accepting the problems it generates -

Well done Sally, What a great job.

I had my Three children at the QEII Welwyn Garden City in Herts.

Hope it all goes well for you

Who said KC was a disability?

Congratulations
