A work day like most others I was driving along Highway 491 in Lecanto on my way to check in for my day's patient roster. I was a CNA with Hospice of Citrus County, Florida. Upon entering the building to get morning report,my nurse, Jill T. looked at me and asked me if I was ok. I recall shaking my head yes and bursting into tears. There must have been something about me Jill observed as I felt fine that morning, or so I thought.
Into an unoccupied office we went. With my hands shaking I managed to press the correct buttons the first go round and reach CASA to call for help. With my voice cracking I began to speak and made my first appointment for what would begin my first year of weekly therapy. The "Emergency Stage" it was called or so I was told by my counselor.
