From Donny

Hello my name is Donny Whitelaw, I am 50 yrs old. I am a 8 yr member of the IBEW. I am a Communication Journeyman Tech.

This crazy journey began at the beginning of July. I wasn't feeling well. I was tired out of breath. I was having a hard time doing everyday tasks. So I went to the Primary care Dr. And he heard something different in my heart and did an EKG right then. He saw some abnormalities in the EKG and scheduled and stress test2 days later then 4 days later I was scheduled for bypass surgery. I had a triple bypass. They repaired the veins and arteries but not the the heart. I now have an irregular heart beat that is causing my Blood pressure to drop when I stand up. When I stand up sometimes I pass out. I had to be admitted to the hospital last week on 9/11 I was released with a life vest defibrillator vest. I'm sure I will have defibrillator put in if the meds don't work. I don't wish this on anyone. My advice is if you feel off go get checked out. I didn't know I had a heart attack or anything wrong with my heart. I am a diabetic. Thanks love you all
