Dodged another big one but the bills are going to kill me

[PHUCKITMAN]

Friday morning 5/24/24 at 7:30 am while at work I started feeling lots of chest pain and thought it might be heartburn so I tried to get my day going. Within a few minutes I started feeling sweaty and the pain got worse. I have been thru this before so I went in to my Bosses office and sat down and told him I couldn't do my job the way I was feeling because it wasn't safe. about 2 minutes later I asked him to please call 911 and I took a nitro tab and removed my dress shirt. "Didn't want it cut off me". Lucky for me the Fire Department is only about 10 blocks straight down the street and before he was off the phone we could hear the sirens. The Paramedics ran a tape on me and told me I was having a Massive Heart Attack and transported me the 1/2 mile to the hospital ER where I stayed for about 10 minutes. Time is crucial in this sort of shit. I was in the Operating room is less than 20 minutes from the 911 call and the Dr.'s spent the next 2.5 hours working on bring me back. From what I have learned so far I had a "Plaque Rupture" in my Aorta meaning the plaque rupture the blood vessel wall and caused a major blockage to the main flow of blood to my heart and also sent clots into the lower chamber. They were able to put in a Stent and break up most of the clots while in the Cath Lab without having to cut open my chest. I sent the next 24 hrs. in ICU because they had to give me a Heparin IV to quickly thin my blood so the clots would break up rather then travel to my brain and cause a Stroke. The next 2 days were in CICU to monitor my recovery. Needless to say my Wife was frantic about seeing me like this and in much worse shape then before during my previous attacks. Good news is both my other Stents are just fine but this new one is in a major area. I had quit smoking cigs 14 months ago because of the last one but my body just makes plaque regardless of what I eat or do. I am now home where I am much more comfortable and with the love of my life and if I keep getting better I can return to  work within 14 days or so? However it is hard to keep my stress level down when all I can think about is the medical bills that will start arriving soon and the money I am not making while at home resting. The thought of us losing our home among other things is driving me crazy right now. I would rather leave this earth with her having our home and some savings than to be here and her become homeless. If you smoke please stop, if you eat poorly please try to eat better and if you don't exercise at least try to walk 30 minutes a day. Do this not for yourself "it will help you" but do it for those who love you and cherish you. Tell those you love those words as often as possible because you never know what your final words to them might be or when you might not come home from work. Peace and LOVE to you all.

Damn dude.. hang in there. WOW... scary stuff. Man are going though the same thing. I will explain why.

I notice you said the word clot and not blood clot. Why is that? What kind of clot was it. 

The vaccinated are having this issue. They are getting clots growing in their bodies. Would you like proof of this? Would you like to see them?

Proper diet for a athlete, get on Ivermectin. You need to detox that mRNA vaccine out of your system. Otherwise them clots will keep growing and keep clotting. 

I have a list of doctors that will guide you in your efforts. They understand the problem so hit me of if you want to know more about it.

Hang in there P-Man... who will give me crap and hate on me if you pass? I need my P-Man around to keep me on my toes.

So sorry to hear about this but you are very lucky. Most people do not survive such an episode. Its important to get better first before making yourself sick worrying about the money. Maybe you can finance the bill over time or arrange for a loan. Wait to see what it is before panicking then see what your options are. The guys on the forum may have some good ideas about how to deal with the bills. You never know what a bunch of idiots could up with.

Damn man you need to take care of yourself,,thie must have been so scary,,but you have been given a second chance!!

Having to worry in such a big way over stupid money and your home on top of all the worries over your health.. that's so bad.  I guess I can say I know some of how it feels, but in a light version. You want to focus on your health only, on staying alive, recovering, but you can't because of bills. I wish I could do anything for you in that regard.

Still hoping for a good recovery for you and that the attacks stop coming..

[PimpedOutPete]

Argh, my friend I am relieved that you ok. We all think we are invincible when we are young and ignore any great advice given.

Worrying about your health is enough, the cost of that health is worry all to many have as well. I am grateful I don’t have to. 

Gods speed to a full recovery my friend.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! That’s a lot to go through. You’ve given some great advice and I hope it helps and encourages others to make lifestyle changes.

get better my friend . life is short .

Dont worry about the cash, I have a friend that owes a lot of doctor bills and as long as you make monthly payments as little as 10.00 a month he says it dont matter what you owe, legally they cant do anything. Just dont miss a payment. I check into it just in case he was bullshitting lol. And just remember money comes and goes but you only have 1 life. Live it well, and a speedy recovery to you my friend!
