Hello Doug,
First of all, thank you so much for your wonderful compliment on my family. I am very proud of each of them, as you can probably tell by my posting their photos on here! Secondly, thank you for taking the time to read my message as to why I am here and for your words of encouragement....you are very kind.
I am so very sorry for what you have gone through. How absolutely awful. I cannot imagine how it must have been for you to go through all of that. I have to commend you on your strength and determination. As for my assailant/captor....they caught him too and he is in prison for what I imagine will be the rest of his life - he has to serve 51 years before he is even eligible for and type of parole or probation. It doesn't really help though. I was such an independent person before and he stole that from me. I have always said that of all the things he stole from me, the things that he took from me that I may never get back are my sense of security and independence. I cannot take any sort of self-defense classes because I have to take blood thinners and I could bleed to death internally if I were to sustain a hard enough blow to the body. It wouldn't take much. I have a hereditary protein deficiency that causes my blood to clot too much....this is the reason for the anticoagulants.
I do try to exercise, but a lot of times the depression gets in the way. I'm trying to fight my way out of this, though. I am so very sorry if the tone of this letter is too somber....especially since yours was so positive and uplifting. Believe me, I AM trying to fight the good fight.
Well, you take care and be well and be safe.
Fondly,
Anita -

Never been sick a day in my life....until 01/25/09. Small amount of tightness in my chest lasting no more than 5 minutes when I would bend over to put a leash on my dog. I was finally convinced to go to the ER. They found nothing initialy.
Treatments
- Aspirin Working / Worked
- Bypass Surgery (Coronary) Working / Worked
- I had the surgery 06/26/09 and was misreable until two weeks ago.Nausea,indegestion, etc. I took matters into my own hands and went back to the alternative treatments I've been famalier with for the last 35yrs. I started drinking about 3-4 oz of Aloe Vera Juice and in 3 days all of the nausea and indegestion were gone. I also found a Muscle Strength Clinic and after only one stretching and massage treatment I was nearly pain free. I also work out at a minimum of one hour a day.
- Lipitor Working / Worked
- Cholesterol count below 100 now
- Plavix Not Working
- Confusion
- Stents Not Working
- My immune system was too healthy and strong and rejected the Cordis Medicated Stent.
