At 49 I thought that I was in pretty good shape. Working a full time job at 50 to 60 hours a week. Blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol have always been good and in check. I didn’t take any kind of medication at all. Of all my Fam and friends my age I had thought to be more fit then most. But life gave me a shock.
Saturday the 25th of Aug I was outside play with my 3 kids when I had a heart attack. On the 3rd day in the hospital I then had a stroke to add on. I needed time for a ton of testing and for some vision to come back. Have done every kind of testing U could think of - MRI’s, MRA’s, 5 different spots of ultrasound, cam probe down my throat, and a cardiac catheterization. More to come on top of all this. Seams that I also have one value that is leaking. Time and more tests will tell if open heart surgery is needed to fix it.
On full time disability now so finally getting some of the bills paid LOL The stroke took all my peripheral vision to the left. Not a good thing for a truck drive to lose. Needless to say I’m not allowed to drive at this time. Hoping in time some of my vision will come back. Still have a long way to go but feeling good.
