Donation protected
Hi everyone my name is Dale .
My story begins on Dec 17-2023 I was at home & start having chest pains. I thought it was bad heart burn around 9pm when they pain didn't get better I went to the er at midnight. Only to find out I had a heart attack at age 42. I was admitted into the he hospital after test positive for covid . I did not no I had covid till after I had the heart attack . When I got to the hospital my lung were clear on xray. After being admitted I was so sick to my stomach all day they gave me meds to try to make me better at 11 pm that night I aspirated & filled up my right lung. The aspiration turn to pneumonia.
My oxygen drop to 72% They sent me to the icu were I spent 4 days in icu. On high flow oxygen. Thankfully I was well enuff to be sent back to the reg room on Christmas Morning 2023. I got to seem my family for the 1st time seence i was taken to the er on dec 17. That was the best gift I could ask for. On Dec 26th they did a heart cath on my to find I have some issues with my heart they found out I have 2 main arteries that are blocked 100% each. One of the main arteries is a widowmaker . I also have 2 other values that are block almost 100%. On Dec 27th. They sent a heart surgeon to seem me in the hospital. He said I could not have surgery right a way as they thought because I had to recover fully from the Heart attack, covid, aspiration pneumonia. So they sent me home with a Life Vest. It is the only thing they could do then. So I had to wait to March 2024 to see a heart surgent in evansville indiana . He said he could not operate on my heart . So I went back to see my regular doc in 4-11-24. He said there not much he can do for me ether please check with cleavland clinic in Cleveland Ohio. We said we have a apt with a surgen there. He was happy to here we are going to Cleavland Clinic. He believes they can help me with my heart.
So now I have been off work seence Dec 17th 2023 . Because I can't return to work wereing the life vest. I have the life vest because they say my heart is only working at 15%. My Girlfriend & I & my friend will be traveling to cleavland clinic in Ohio to see the surgent on 05-19- 24 I have a full day of tests on 05- 20-2024 & we will met the Surgon 05-21-2024. Are friend is taking us because mandee doesn't drive & they belive I may have surgery soon after I meet the heart surgent on 05- 21-24. Any thing you can give would be so grateful. It will be use for are travel & medicall bills & food & gas & hotels. Seence we live 8& 1/2 way from cleavland Ohio in Mt Vernon indiana.
I have always been a heard worker up until the day my heart attack happen . I am hoping after this I will maybe be able to return to work we won't no until we see the surgon in cleavland. WE under stand if you can not give to are page but if you can't please share this post & say a prayer for us . If you can give thank you .
