My only child saved my life without even knowing it. He woke me up bc he had pain in his lower abdomen. 911-i thought, get him in right away, so I told the ambulance driver, Ocala regional . I follow in my van and I park. I get out and I felt like I was walking in 5 inches of thick mud. I struggled to get to the ER door. I entered, the girl at the desk asks me, "how can I help?" I spoke, but could not speak ..and I also couldn't breathe. The more I tried to tell her, the more I started to hyperventilate trying to breath. I told her 3 words, son, ambulance 911, gasping for air. Instructing me to take slow deep breaths, in thru your nose out through your mouth, she puts me in a wheelchair n rolls me back to my son's ER room, hoping to calm me down. It did, seeing him there, put me at peace. Doc asks me a few key questions n wants me to blow into an empty plunged syringe, to try to blow out the plunger. So I do, and I pass out. Then I tried again with more detailed instructions from the doc. I passed out again. Ok -Ct scan with contrast . My heart is in distress. My 25yr. Old son Charlie goes home with a script to pass a kidney stone and I get admitted into a cardiology floor room for more tests. A few days later and a heart catherization thru the wrist, I find out I have 3-4 major arteries that are with 70%+blockages. What??? I don't smoke or drink. I have hereditary heart disease from my father and his mother. But, Always thought I missed it.. heart disease. My dad dies of a massive heart attack at 47yrs old. His mom also a heart attack. Well, I made it to 52 yrs old, N boom, a wall in my life. Triple/quad bypass surgery, chest bones opened and 3-4 new arteries from my legs to help me gain another 20 yrs+ of life. With this hope in front of me and my son, may I ask you for some financial help to pay my household bills? It won't be the fastest yellow brick Rd to recovery, dancing and singing...but it's a road I can continue to breath on as I continue to get better. Will u please sacrifice some spare change to help me to recover from this unexpected tragedy my son and I face? It doesn't take a lot individually, but with a community of friends we can move mountains. Thank you for your time and may Jehovah bless you because he already loves you. Ps. 83:18
