    • Close Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

      I was traveling on a cruise to the carribean on a cruise. Two days into the cruise I found myself in ICU in ST, Thomas V.I. I spent 10 days in the hospital before they would let me fly home with O2 and could no retain the Sats in the 90's and was scared to death. I am 54 with a daughter of only 13 so I'm very greatfull to have the chance to hopefully raise her by the grace of God

      Treatments

      Coumadin Working / Worked
      Finally got theraputic on Coumadin Since this is my second DVT and this time it resulted in a PE I will be on Coumadin for life
      Walking Somewhat Helpful
      I am trying to buidup my endurance but I still tire very quickly. I have no stamina.
      Oxygen Working / Worked
      I have O2 because my sats would fall to the low 80s during the night. The only problem is the mask hurts under my nose.
