Plz Help With Multiple Surgeries
Donation protected
8 Years in 2010 ago my Husband Randy had a massive Heart Attack. He died at one point on the helipad as they were flying him from our hometown of Murphy, NC down to NE Ga Medical Center. At that time they put in two stints. 6 years ago He suffered a stroke and lost part of his vision. 2 years ago he had to have a Quadruple By-Pass. Since that time, I've lost count of how many tests and procedures he's had to go through. It seems every couple of months something else rears its ugly head and he has another battle he has to fight. It astounds me that he has so much fight in him. And now here comes the latest fight....
Randy had an appointment with his Heart Dr. and Unfortunately he received some bad news. He was told he would have to see a Vascular Surgeon as soon as possible. His left leg (the one they took 7 ft of artery out for his quadruple heart surgery a little over a year and a half ago) appears to be going downhill fast. It is his bad leg, which you know he broke years ago. He also has several plates and crews in his ankle that he crushed.
His Cardiologist sent him up to the local hospital to have tests ran on his leg to check his pulses and all that and well it wasn't very good at all. She sent him to get tested back at Gainesville GA to see a Vascular specialist. With the numbers (blood pressures) being as bad as they were, this can't be ignored. He has met with the Vascular Surgeon and Now has received the news we feared the most to hear.. He has P.A.D He also has a major blockage in his Groin and another in his Thigh.
(Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) primarily results from atherosclerosis or cholesterol deposition in the walls of arteries that leads to reduced blood flow to the limbs. PAD mainly presents as change in skin color of the affected limb, pain in limbs when walking, and weakness in legs. Lifestyle changes are the first line of treatment and this is followed by medications and surgery.)
Now,with so many procedures done and now another 2 surgeries complete in under a month, well, things are just stacking up more and more , I just thought I would start this and hope. When you get to the end of your rope. Sometimes that's all you can do....
So please please if you can donate, we would be so grateful but Even if you just share this around that would be such a help and thank you for taking the time to read this. Randy is looking at months and months out of work so every share and penny helps out!!
