Hello; My name is Michael J Duddy Sr.
I am a 59-year-old man as of today, I was born poor in Wilkes-Barre, PA. after GAR High school I joined the United States Marine Corps.
I was injured in the Corps. When I was Honorably discharged, I became a truck driver for many years and abused my body.
At AGE 46 I was told I could never work again. 9/11 came and I helped @ Ground Zero, I have never been the same since.
In 2009 I was 450Lbs.
At the Veteran’s Hospital Bronx, NY I had a Vertical sleeve gastrectomy and removed 90% of my stomach, thus loosing 250 Lbs. then Plastic surgery and total Hip replacement at the same hospital over the course of three years.
Life was falling back into place for me, Until October 2nd, 2016
My wife found me Blue, Cold and barely breathing. I am well known in town and quite many police and EMTs showed up at my home and transported me to Hospital. I was on Life support for four days after waking up in ICU a week later not knowing what happened to me.
10 days later I was discharged with what they did not know but they discharged me with the C Diff Bug/Virus. From what I was told it is a life changer especially If it gets into your bloodstream there was not coming back. (that is what I was told at veteran’s hospital.
Three days later I was rushed to veteran’s hospital and placed in ICU, I woke up three days later asking now wat happened. I was discharged after seven days with 12 days with strong antibiotics.
On the 14th day I was rushed back to the veteran’s hospital AGAIN at this time I lost 45 Pounds in 5 days. Since then I have been on Vancomycin Antibiotics which I still take to this day and do not know when I will be weaned off of it. Also, a fourth time I was taken to VA hospital.
As of my character, I am a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus, A Eucharistic Minister of the Host, a Church Lector. I sing in the choir and assist the priest on the alter during mass, when I am called upon I jump to help. Everyone knows me as the go to guy when they need help and I do not ever remember saying no. But with my health and Stress level now I need the help. A few have come to my aid and others not but they pray for me and that is awesome. I love life and want to see my children and grandchildren, but it is very difficult to travel to PA now, they cannot visit me because of their hectic lives. God blessed me with them, and an awesome wife who is my Angel who saved me.
But now I am a mess after four different hospital stays (that I really do not remember going to but just leaving)
I am constantly going to DR’s and Veteran’s hospital for so many tests. My head spins.
Thank you and God Bless you
