    Healer555 replied to RGSW's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Healer555 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    6 months really isn't bad. She has to blow when she gets a phone alert? During work or driving or sleep? How is that even possible? It's not really compatible with life in a remotely normal
