    About Me

    Oh my goodness things have changed since I updated this profile! David and I were married January 5, 2008. He is still a carpenter and I have now graduated and am working full time (how scary is that?) Family is still paramount, which can be hard with other obstacles that life has :)

          From greenstarfish August 23, 2007

          Certainly not easy - but one day at a time. I've certainly had bad days - it's only human. I'm a control freak too :) So I get mad at myself if I think too much about bad stuff. Find the coping mechanism that works - for me it's staying positive and that I'm a control freak :)

        • Close Pulmonary Embolism

          Last January my fiancee had his third pulmonary embolism. He's on warfarin for the rest of his life and I see the physical, mental, and emotional changes in him already. I'm worried, scared, and furious when he seems to be just fine. You can only imagine how frustrating this is for both him and me.

          Treatments

          Heparin Working / Worked
          He took heparin and fragmen for two weeks and it did wonders for him.
          Coumadin Somewhat Helpful
          It completely changes everything about him. He's no longer the same person I once loved.
