- When I got my 3rd PE and found this group, several of us talked about wanting to see the ocean. Don't know why, but it was a common theme. Well, I just spend 3 days at Mission Beach in San Diego. It was great!!! I had never seen the ocean and...

- My dad is diabetic and will not follow a diet. O.K. it's his life. He had triple by-pass and refuses to follow that diet. Again, ok it's his life. But now he refuses to do anything. My mom asks him if he wants to shower and he refuses. She...
- My 1st husband got sober for the longest time in 1987. When he was in rehab, the therapist told me that if he was in real recovery, I would get a sincere apology...not that crap you hear every time they screw up. Or as they say in AA..."amends". ...

- On the 28th I was admitted with my 4th set of PEs. They ran a heparin drip for 4 days until they were sure my INR was theraputic again. Before I left the hospital I developed a pulled muscle in my right side from the hospital bed. I came home...
- Last time the pain subsided in a few days. I still have lots of pain when I do anything. I walk from the bedroom to the kitchen and my heart is racing and my chest hurts. Of course, this is only 2 days out of the hospital and I do have an extra...
- Anybody remember the address for that great article on what to expect when you get home from the PE? I got this wonderful 2 sheets on PE from the hospital, which told me NOTHING that I didn't know. But I remember when I first came here I was...
- This one hit me out of the blue. I thought it was just fluid overload from my heart. But when I went to the ER day after Christmas they discovered my INR was low and consequently I now have had pulmonary embolisms 4 times now. I spent the last...
- O.K. My dad has basically given up. He suffers from severe depression. According to his doctors, there is nothing else wrong with him. Yes, he had a broken leg 2 years ago, but that is healed. He had triple bypass last Thanksgiving, but his...
- I have congestive heart failure along with asthma and kidney disease. I have now developed celulitus and was wondering if it is normal to be very short of breath and just feel crumby on top of everything else. When we get sick, do we feel it more?
