title: Carol's story.
abstract: It was all so sudden, such a dramatic life change. I had really expected to work for a further ten years, not this! All my life I had fought for my career. I was involved, I studied, I did many new and exciting things. I bathed in the joys of success, suffered frustrations and anger on occasions, and I challenged the exhaustion and long hours of following a career in nursing. A profession that I loved, and still love, and which gave me so much.
