It was what was to be a yard working , pool prepping Memorial Day weekend when on May 27, 2018, DJ found himself not feeling well, experiencing some chest pain & discomfort that he contributed to the stresses of working 12-16 hour days doing manual labor and delivering of goods & just having had finished some yard work & house chores.
Tragically, it was not just benign chest pain and fatigue ... it was what would later turn out to be a near fatal heart attack , not just one, but two and DJ ended up at West Penn hospital in Bloomfield, PA, in the ICU only to then find himself being Life-Flighted to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA for what would turn out to be to have life-saving cardiac open heart surgery needing to have triple-bypass on May 29, 2018 ; in an otherwise healthy, active, fit 49 year-old in the prime of his life!
Today DJ is home with his family, on numerous medications, diet restrictions , physical restrictions and coming along as well as can be expected from a near fatal cardiac event.
DJ has months of cardiac rehab waiting for him once he is cleared to begin, as the body needs time to heal the graft sites & cardiac grafting ..slow ,steady progress is what is needed.
While time, rest & medication regiments can take care of most the health needs, there are mounting medical bills consisting of what most of us know can be anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 of Co-Insurance and Deductible Out-of-Pocket expenses, coupled with STD income , soon brings about a whole new reality ; of how exactly is one to get through without more added stress & financial despair, not to mention the reality that the level of physical demand DJ’s job requires; may not make it a reality to return to. We encourage DJ to take one day at a time for now.
This brought me to thinking that starting a Go Fund Me for DJ (Dennis ) Angelo was something that not only I could do, but , all those whom have asked, “what Can I do”, or “what do they need”, now here is where everyone who wants to can donate and help with the out of pocket medical bills & daily financial challenges that illness & injuries bring ; which most of us do not plan or save for.
Any and All Contributions are appreciated & we thank you in advance for your generous donations, prays & well wishes !
On behalf of the Angelo Family...
Many, many thanks !
