Bill Drucklieb Heart Recovery
Donation protected
I recently walked into my local emergency room thinking I was suffering from a respiratory infection. Little did I know I was in congestive heart failure and having a heart attack. I was 100% plugged in one artery, a second was 95% and the third was very bad too.
I was so bad they needed to transfer me to a larger hospital for a triple bypass. After surgery I was recovering slowly. However, they need to go back in for additional corrective surgery in the next few weeks.. My heart wasn't 100% viable with only 12% blood flow. The last test a few weeks ago showed my heart is only pumping 18% now, therefore additional surgery.
Now for the really bad news, I don’t have insurance. The cost of the operations is well over 200K, the cost of medications alone is bankrupting me and I'll be on them for life.
I am seeking donations to cover my medical and basic living expenses. They initially told me the recovery could take up to 12 weeks. At only 18% post-op, in need of a second surgery, this is going to take a very long time to get back anywhere close to normal. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
