I SURVIVED AND NOW TO REBUILD !

Update: Dear Friends - One year and 5-6 months ago I had two Heart attacks and surgeries. A week before this I finished a B.S. and was excited about the futrue. Before this moment I was in seemingly great health. This crisis was driven by genetics with a pattern on one side of the family. I began my recovery enthusiastically not realizing at the time that it would take me a total of 17 months to properly recover and be able to work again. There were moments when I thought I would never function normally again. Often I was unable to cross a street, take a shower safely, make my bed (which I do religiously), etc. without thinking I would collapse. Several times I had to sit down on the curb to gain my strength before crossing a street.

I went through my savings, maxed out my credit cards and all other resources. During these months I thought I would never recover or work again.

I'm sharing this so that everyone can understand when someone they know or Love has a Heart attack that it takes at least 12 plus months to tred the path to full recovery. Fortunately I went into this crisis very healthy, and now my core strength has returned, and I'm fully back!

Your GOFUNDME help will be used to cover immediate expenses while getting back to work. This should take about 8 weeks for a first paycheck, and then getting caught up will follow. My credit has taken a big hit, fortunately my basic apartment rent is covered (Social Security), and my accrude debt can be cleaned up with the new job, etc. Generally, all can be fixed with your help, and some time. That's the full story of the impact and full recovery.

Much Love and Gratitude - Avritt
