    About Me

    I am a 55 year old born again Christian father of 2 great kids. In the recent past I have lost my brother, lost my job, had open heart surgery to replace aortic valve, moved across country to be near my wife's family even though we are divorcing. I have diabetes type 2 that I try and maintain, sometimes more successfully than others. At times I feel stressed beyond belief but I try and stay positive. I've been through hardships, yet I know others have had a much harder road than I. I try to help others facing the trials that I have overcome in my time, and seek the path that will lead me to a happier existance.

    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. Oral meds still working, but I do need more exercise. I had cataracts in both eyes that the docs said were diabetes related, and also had aortic stenosis, forcing me to have a heart valve replaced.

      Treatments

      Actos Working / Worked
      Lantus Working / Worked
      Burns when injected, tried Levemir for a while but that caused rashed and hives, so am back on Lantus.
    • Open Other Heart Problems

      The week before my 50th birthday I was diagnosed with critical aortic stenosis. Three weeks later I had valve replacement surgery getting an artificial valve in its place. I now must take warfarin, a blood thinner, ever day of my life or risk stroke.

      Treatments

      Coumadin Working / Worked
      I take warfarin, will be for life, as having an artificial aortic valve, you must be on anticoagualtion therapy
