The year from hell…

I didn’t want to do this… but a few coworkers made me.

I’m not too big on sharing this type of information but here goes nothing.

My medical bill stack is about the size of 3 printed mortgages and I still haven’t received everything and still have more procedures to do…

Long story short - On 3/8 I got severe shortness of breath and struggled to breath for about a month and a half - dropping 16-lbs. Since then I’m down 48-lbs and been to every hospital and specialist you can see in the Syracuse Area. You name a test - I’ve done it… prob. Two times over. Imagine Grey’s Anatomy or House? I’m the patient - living the episode that doesn’t seem to want to end…

I still have constant chest pains and shortness of breath - even sitting/laying down. I have fatigue all times of the day and can’t get through the day without having to take a nap after doing simple household tasks. 

I’ve come a long way to get where I am now. I started physical therapy to try some alternative rehabilitation. I hope to have an actual diagnosis soon and return to whatever the new normal life I can lead after this is all over.

Thanks in advance for any support on this misery of a journey I’ve been through and God bless anyone else dealing with this type of medical merry-go-round - as I’d like to get off sometime soon!
