    • About Me

      I am a 56 year old born again Christian father of 2 great kids. In the recent past I have lost my brother, lost my job, had open heart surgery to replace aortic valve, moved across country to be near my wife's family even though we are divorcing. I have diabetes type 2 that I try and maintain, sometimes more successfully than others. At times I feel stressed beyond belief but I try and stay positive. I've been through hardships, yet I know others have had a much harder road than I. I try to help others facing the trials that I have overcome in my time, and seek the path that will lead me to a happier existance.

    • Little Love

      From boyd52 October 13

      Thank you SO much for your wonderful words. I have missed you. You know, that victime thing, when triggered , takes me to such a dark place. And you are so right. I truly should trust my Lord because this afternoon I was told that the Attny Gen will consider my case. That is a huge hopeful sign for me. I need to feel there is some justice sometimes. I have missed you and hoped things were going well... would you consider pm-ing me with your reg email addy so i can keep up with you outside of DS.. I was really sorry when you were impossible to find so I hope that would be okay with you . I send you huge hugs and i thank you so much for the encouragement.

      From kimmeee Community Leader June 6

      Thank you so much Steve, I am sooo very proud of her. As you know in Florida if you are bright futures, they hand college to you, and she could not have gone to college with out that start for her. She worked so hard against great odds of us moving, no money or job, and she did it. I couldn't be more proud of her and thankful to God for his many blessings! Big hugs, Kimmee

    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. Oral meds still working, but I do need more exercise. I had cataracts in both eyes that the docs said were diabetes related, and also had aortic stenosis, forcing me to have a heart valve replaced.

      Treatments

      Actos Working / Worked
      Lantus Working / Worked
      Burns when injected, tried Levemir for a while but that caused rashed and hives, so am back on Lantus.
    • Open Other Heart Problems

      The week before my 50th birthday I was diagnosed with critical aortic stenosis. Three weeks later I had valve replacement surgery getting an artificial valve in its place. I now must take warfarin, a blood thinner, ever day of my life or risk stroke.

      Treatments

      Coumadin Working / Worked
      I take warfarin, will be for life, as having an artificial aortic valve, you must be on anticoagualtion therapy
