Ann's message this morning: I have had the nasogastric tube in for a day. For some reason it seems to sit better in the left side of my nose than the right.

This would involve about 20 hours a week, at $15/hour, between 10 am and 5 pm Monday to Friday, the exact times to be negotiated. The location is at 715 Montgomery St, Fredericton, N.B E3B 2X7.
