About Me
I've been married 16 years (by June 2008) to my best friend who I'm in love with now more that the day we were married. Every day's a learning experience and we're enjoying a journey of self-discovery as well.
Interests
We love the view along the trail that runs along the river and my hubby and I take walks along it as often as we can. Enjoy taking photos of wild life, colorful flowers and trees that are plentiful in our area. For 8 plus years I've been doing our family genealogy and enjoy seeing the great roots our ancestors planted.

Close Sleep Apnea
I always loved my husband's snoring as my father and grandfather both snored and it was always a comforting sound to me. But a couple of years ago I would awake in the night and find my husband had stopped breathing for longer periods of time. I would gently nudge him and he'd start breathing again. Then after a couple of nights when he woke up realizing he was gasping for air his doctor ordered a sleep lab test and my beloved was diagnosised with sleep apnea.
Treatments
- CPAP Somewhat Helpful
- Hubby uses a full face mask w/chin strap
Close Osteoporosis
Diagnosised with osteopenia (low bone density) one year ago and my doctor put me on a calcium supplement. At the time I asked the pharmacists if I should keep taking the multiple vitamin that has extra calcium and was told, no problem, keep taking it and don't stop eating extra rich calcium veggies and dairy. Well now a year later I find out that the multivitamin taken at the same time as the calcium supplement inhibits the supplement!
Treatments
- Calcium Somewhat Helpful
- Not sure, just had a bone scan done last month and am scheduling a followup appt with my doctor to discuss treatment.
Open Hearing Loss & Deafness
In 1998 I had a hearing test and found I was losing a great deal of the hearing in my right ear. I was also told that I had congenital hearing loss in my left ear that had never diagnosised! The audiologist told me that lots of people don't know they have congenital hearing problems until they lose hearing in their good ear and that's what happened to me.
Treatments
- Hearing Aids Working / Worked
- Have two hearing aids, one digital and the other has a wheel to adjust it.
Open Healthy Relationships
We have a great marriage relationship. We're continually growing & learning how to be us. We share openly with each other the joys and tears of daily life & loving it & each other even more.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Working / Worked
- About 11 years ago we did a 14 wk marriage seminar & it was great. We found we'd already been doing all the things they were trying to teach couples to do to have a wonderful marriage. We are blessed!
- Patience Working / Worked
- We're learning to be patient with each other & with ourself; it's a growing process that stretches you.
- Talking Working / Worked
- We have loved to talk with each other from day one. We talk over and discuss things, giving the other room to be real & open. It really works!
- Writing Working / Worked
- I've kept a journal for the last 11 years. It helps to write out feelings and examine them so I can communicate more effectively and it's great to record daily life experiences we share.
Open Food Allergies
Didn't have food allergies as a child, but in my teens I began to have food allergies. I love lobster, crab, nuts & fresh fruit, but they don't like me! :)
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- EpiPen Too Soon to Tell
- My doctor gave me an EpiPen to use if I need it, so far I haven't needed it and hope I never will. But it's good that I have it just in case.
Open Environmental Allergies
Went to Allergist a year ago & found I'm allergic to dust mites, a lot of tree, grass & flower pollens, some cat & dog dander. Learned to adjust.
Treatments
Open Lactose Intolerance
Had a lot of dental work & was given a lot of antibiotics over 2 years. At end of dental work told I should've been eating yogurt within an hour of taking the antibiotic. The antibiotics destroyed the good bacteria in my intestinal tract! I've learned to adapt diet, but really miss ice cream, some cheeses & cottage cheese!
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Avoid some cheeses, milk, ice cream & cottage cheese
- Lactaid Somewhat Helpful
- An expensive bother, but was somewhat helpful for somethings.
- Lactose-Free Diet Working / Worked
- Use lactose-free milk and ice cream and get Sorbet at a local Maggie Moo's Ice Cream store.
Open Alzheimer's Disease
My 86 yr old dad has had memory problems off and on for 10 years. We finally found a Dr that would do a CATSCAN. On Feb 14th Mama was told Papa's brain has shrunk and he may have Alzheimers. We think he's also had a series of light strokes resulting in Aphasia. I live in another state so I call my parents every day so they can talk. No one knows what stage he's at . Thank God my youngest brother is there to run errands for them and to take Papa to the doctors.
Treatments
- Exelon Working / Worked
- Papa had been using a patch for about 3 plus months and I see a change in his conversations. Not as depressed with repetitive as before. 2 days ago dosage was increased to a 9.5 mg daily patch. As of 3--6-08 Papa has improved greatly! Eating, remembers things, alert, no depression!
- Namenda Too Soon to Tell
- Papa's doctor started him on Namenda this past week. read a lot of things online that mention a lot of yucky sideeffects. Info about the med says it's to treat symptoms AZ, Not sure if this is need right now as Papa doesn't have a lot of symptoms at this stage.
