Angela, I am sorry for what happened to you.  It sure sounds unfair to
you.  I hope you will soon achieve those wonderful initials after your
name!  I smile when I think of when I became a La Leche League Leader.
The leader of my group at the time delayed my application so that it
took over 2 years to complete it.  That was 23 years ago.  She told me
later she did it because, since my husband was a minister, she didn't
think we'd be staying around for very long.  I led that group for 10
years and here I still am working in lactation!  ;-)  Since then, I have
encouraged nurses in every hospital I have worked in to pursue the IBCLC
if they were really interested in breastfeeding.  In fact, I have
jokingly said I feel like the Johnny Appleseed of lactation consultants
because there are several IBCLC's today that are working in hospitals I
left behind who took the exam with my encouragement and support!  That's
a legacy I can feel good about!
