The way I look at the amount of shit I’ve had to endure with the severe mishandling of my healthcare over the years, it’s just a lesson that’s hard learned. A small update to the living issues, the apartment complex came last Tuesday to start the mold remediation. Prior to all of this, I contacted… Continue reading Day 1

Although this may be triggering for some, you can see through the eyes of our two pet cam’s we have for our cats. Sauron sits in the living room, and Mount Doom in our bedroom. The videos are timelapsed / sped up, but between the two videos, you can watch the timestamps between the two… Continue reading Pet Cam’s Caught the Attacks

As an expected, I was released from Swedish today at 12p. Aggie picked me up, and took me to infectious disease where we were both trained on on how to access my port, since I will be doing constant antibiotics With my port accessed, I was given all the antibiotics until next week. I will… Continue reading Release

Didn’t sleep at all last night. Someone must have touched my bed yesterday (wasn’t me). On the outer panel you can set restrictions on what the bed can do, so someone turned on the restriction where I couldn’t lay down more than 35 degrees. So pissed off last night, I finally took a look at… Continue reading Hopefully Heading Home Today

I told her that we need to make sure infectious disease has both the antibiotic and antifungal in hand before setting me free. The other items that I have to have will be the statins that stop… Continue reading Heading Home Tomorrow

I owe a big thank you to Dr Chauhan. He’s now on the “team” of care. He was the cardiologist… Continue reading Officially Moved From ICU

As I watch the Troponin levels as time goes on, the numbers are going down considerably. They made the decision during morning rounds, that I’ll be moving out of the ICU sometime today, or tomorrow. Most likely they will be releasing me tomorrow. I did tell them though, however, that infectious disease needs to have… Continue reading Slowly Recovering

It’s a lot of things to digest. A lot of moving pieces moved yesterday. This is known as a widowmaker. This had the severe potential to kill me. The 4 heart attacks I survived, were widowmaker heart attacks. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23985-left-anterior-descending-artery After reading that, I am grateful to still be here. It’s fuck crazy to think that’s… Continue reading Answers v2.0

First and foremost. Yesterday. The spasms. The pain. I went to Swedish Medical Center last night at 6pm. I was hurting. Feeling just lousy. After a few blood tests, an EKG. Things escalated pretty quickly. Yesterday, I experienced, not 1, 2 or 3 episodes. It was 4 total. Those episodes, were heart attacks. Yes. Heart… Continue reading Answers.
