Hello! My name is Annette Markin. I'm a 54 year old woman fighting a rare lung disease called, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. I was diagnosed on June 29, 2004 (my husband's birthday). On July 15th I began a treatment called, Flolan. It is administered continuously through a central line that has been surgically implanted in my chest by a portable, battery operated pump. I'm also on oxygen 24/7. As you can imagine, the disease and the medicine are a bit of a challenge. The love and support of my wonderful husband Rod (married 31 years and counting) and our two sons, Nick (28 and married to a beautiful woman named Kara and proud owner of a fat cat named Ivan) and Chris (26 a professional photographer with a goofy dog named Deoje)and other loving family members and friends make this fight less challenging. My faith in God provides me with hope for a cure for this now incurable disease. Please learn more about Pulmonary Hypertension at: www.phassociation.org

Prayers for a no problem surgery and quick recovery. I know your PH complicates things - but I also know you are a strong lady. Hang tough! Love, Jacque
I'm anxious to hear how your surgery went and glad you got rid of that nasty gall bladder. Take care, rest, and let God heal your body. You're in our prayers. Love, Donna

Hey, Annette...
Is gall bladder like tonsils, so when you get them out you can eat nothing but ICE CREAM for a few days???
Is chocolate better, or should I go the antioxident strawberry path??
