    • About Me

      I am soon to be 41. I am happily married and mom to 3 teenage daughters, well, one is almost 20, but. I am pretty no nonsense. I was diagnosed with DVT 7 days before my 40th birthday in 08. It has been a very long and painful(both mentally and physically) journey. I hope when I am through it, I will be a stronger and wiser person. Everything happens for a reason, and I would really like to know the reason...........

      From mazel February 26

      Just sending u a quick hello. My dad had a heart attack so I haven't been on the borad a lot. I've been running around like crazy. I wish I had relatives and siblings. It's hard being a mommie and having to take care of a sick parent when I am sick. AAAHHHH......Women are definately stronger than men......
