Hello my name is Jillian and i am asking for your prayers upfront and foremost!!!I am also asking for funds for my household and medical bills. I had suffered two widowmaker heart attacks back in 2015, since then, I have had 13 heart catherization surgerIes and 6 stents put in. My medical bills were well over $225,000 At that time, i ended up filing for a payment plan with the bankruptcy court for 5 years starting in 2018. I still have another year to pay. This has been extremely difficult on us as they dont leave much to live on after they take their fee and your payments to your creditors. My heart had been stable for the last few years Or so i thought and i was sure it was over. Well Starting in December of 2020, the pandemic hitting us all very hard. I contracted COVID, Was hospitized and took along time for me to feel normal again. Come March 2021 i caught the Delta Variant Of COVID and once again hospitized even sicker and have been hospitized every few months after that with new problems with my heart. I was told it was more than likely COVID that has damaged my heart, it beats uncontrollably and off beat sometimes making me light headed and I faint because oxygen doesnt get to my heart correctly as the lower chambers of my heart are not working properly. I must have more heart surgery to correct this. I am scheduled to go in December 6, 2021 at a hospital in Pittsburgh,PA. I am very stressed out and money is tight and i will need to borrow sick leave for my 4-8 week recovery From work. These are the new surgeries I must have done on the 6th. Please help me if you can financially I am Stressing with the many specialists I’ve had to see and the operation coming up. It would mean the world to me.
Cardiac ablation: This is a procedure done similarly to an electrophysiology test, but involves using a special catheter to deliver energy to the heart that eliminates certain irregular heart rhythms. We offer a comprehensive ablation program including radiofrequency and cryo-ablation procedures to meet patient needs.
Cardioversion: This procedure corrects an irregular heart rhythm by applying a high-energy shock through special pads on the front and back of the chest wall. We provide medication to prevent experiencing any pain or discomfort.
Implantable loop recorder: Implanted just below the skin on your chest, this device records heart rhythm episodes and can be used by the to record an episode when you’re experiencing symptoms. An implantable loop recorder is left in for a predetermined amount of time, often a year or more, before being removed.
Pacemakers: Used to constantly monitor your heart rhythm, a pacemaker is implanted in your upper chest area and sends electrical impulses to the heart to maintain a normal heart rate.
Implantable cardiac defibrillators: Slightly larger than a pacemaker, an implantable cardiac defibrillator sends electrical impulses to the heart when needed. This device continually monitors the heart and sends energy to correct a very fast rhythmn.
