- When I walked away from my ex 7 years ago, I thought I was done with addicts. Well, I knew my 24 year old son was smoking weed and for a time I was picking my battles. And, quite frankly, I had a lot more to worry about in my own life. In August...
- I never thought I'd have to deal with this again and I have to say I have enjoyed my last 4 years without any addicts in my life. 2 months ago I came back to live with my parents. (Long story). And I have come to realize that my father (81 years...
- In 2008 I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. Add to that an LAD stent in 2009, 3 sets of pulmonary embolisms, kidney disease and multiple times in the hospital for asthma or the heart or kidney problems. Last month 3 of my doctors told...
- My mother is 78 and has had her knee and shoulder replaced. She has always been basically lazy and I feel that is what lead to my dad giving up. He waited on her hand and foot for most of their life together. I have multiple medical conditions...
- Haven't been around for a while, dealing with all my medical issues and the diabetes seems to be under control. But I have a question about my dad. He takes Lantus at night and he was wondering if insulin can make you hungry? I don't have the...
- Last night I started bleeding heavily in a place I shouldn't be bleeding. Went to the ER and it stopped while I was there. My INR is only 2.0, so it's not too high. Anyway, they had a doctor come in and tell me he needs to look inside my bladder...
- My son overheard me talking to a friend about my "INR". And he said to me I wonder how many people talk about INR like we do and know what it means. And he is right. My friends know about INR and we talk about it like it's a normal part of life.
- I am moving in with my parents (another whole story) and I was going through some of my boxes. I was sitting on a chair and my son had moved the boxes so I wouldn't fall over something. I was reaching down into a box and stretching further and...
- I have moved in with my parents because of my medical problems. So, I cannot help with my parents. At least the physical part. The problem...my mom has nothing wrong with her other than she has sat on her butt all her life while my dad waited on...
- I have for the last year and 1/2 watching this unfold from a distance. Due to some medical conditions, I will be moving into my parents house tomorrow,. And it will be a challenge. My dad is 81 and after he broke his hip 2 years ago, he gave up...
- I know we've asked this before. But as of today I am 8 months out from my PE. For a few weeks about a month ago I felt great. And now it seems like I'm back to square one. I even was put in the hospital and they did a heart cath to make sure...
- After 2-1/2months on not having any clue what was wrong with me, I was diagnosed with bilateral PE in October. In 2008 I was diagnosed with diastolic dsyfunction and my doctor felt I had pulmonary hypertension, but it was never confirmed. I just...
- I spent a week in the hospital and they have discovered that I have "mild" pulmonary hypertension. And I actually feel like I did right before I was diagnosed in October. They claim that according to a VQ scan there is probably not another clot. ...
- I began to feel crumby again a few weeks ago and I ended up back in the hospital on Saturday. They kept me 4 days and ended up doing a heart cath to check for heart problems as well as pulmonary hypertension. The Echo no longer showed it, but I...
- As some of you know I had severe pulmonary hypertension with my PEs. Yesterday I was told by my doctor NO exercise until he does the Echo as well as I wear a monitor for 2 weeks and until we have figured out what is going on. Today....we had a...
