    About Me

    I am 38 years old, diagnosed with multiple (three) bilateral clots on July 3, 2008. I'm married to a wonderful guy and am the proud mother of an amazing daughter. As for my work life, I actually have TWO jobs - one managing communications for the office of undergraduate admission at a local university; the other running the US World Cup organization for my chosen sport, Saddle Seat Equitation (a type of english style riding). I'm a former US equestrian team captain and two-time silver medalist in international competition.

    Interests

    Riding and showing American Saddlebred horses, photography, running (OK, jogging - I am slow!), writing and travel.

      Today (WED) I met with the cardiologist. LOVE him...was very kind and curious and not at all dismissive. He seems like a guy who enjoys the challenge …

    • Close Pulmonary Embolism

      Was diagnosed on July 3rd with bilateral pulmonary emboli, both described as 'significant'. I'm 38 and still trying to adjust. Have spent a week in the hospital and am trying to get my strength back so I can start getting back to a somewhat normal life. I am not sure that is ever possible after something like this, but I was VERY lucky - there is a reason I'm still here!

      Treatments

      Lovenox Working / Worked
      Other than my stomach turning black, blue and green from the shots, I guess it has worked ok. I was on for 7 days (all while in hospital).
      Coumadin Too Soon to Tell
      Have only had one PTINR test since getting out of the hospital on July 10th. So far so good.
