About Me
After 18 years of being married to my first husband (don't ask, I could write a book!); several years of being happily single and having a ball dating, working at my passion and traveling; I met my best friend at work who later became my husband - we have been very happily married for 17 years. (I was very young and stupid when I first married!) I am hoping I can gain strength from others on this site - everyong seems to be so strong and supportive. We have four grown children (3 girls and 1 boy) with four grandchildren. We dote on our children and grandchildren, of course, plus we have a darling little Madagascar Coton de Tulear named Maddie, who we adopted two years ago and became one of the loves of our lives - they are all a never-ending source of pride and great joys. .

Support Groups
Close Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
In Nov 2008, I was diagnosed with 100's of PE in both lungs which had "clogged" the valve in my heart. I had a huge DVT in my left thigh. I had a problem with a dangerously high pulmonary pressure which is still a little high, but much improved. I have a permanent vena cava filter. I'm still on oxygen at home because my Oxy Sat goes down to 80 with exercise, but is starting to stay close to 90 at rest.. I'm starting pulmonary rehab soon, and I am hoping to get rid of my "oxygen tether" soon.
