So my health decline started after my car accident at 15. But came to a big, ugly head in 2017. In March I contracted CDIFF from a colonoscopy.For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a HIGHLY contagious colon infection that is so bad it takes a very expensive, compounded antibiotic to defeat. Or essentially, a poop transplant to give you healthy microbiome to fight this infection. Anyway, I beat that, then the next month, I had a heart attack. I was at work, and had been on nitroglycerin for chest pain for 2 years. All the tests came back "normal". Did all of them, thank you Jesus, my husband and I have always carried good health insurance. The heart attack was caused by a 100% blocked artery across the front of my heart, and while they were stenting that, the widow maker across the back of the heart was 80% blocked. So in 24 hours, I had 2 heart surgeries. I beat that. It was the one of the scariest times in my life!My husband of 25 years has never believed in a "Higher power" is how he says it. But that night, my oldest daughter, came in to the waiting room and saw my husband crying and praying, while I'm in the operating room asking if I'm gonna die, crying praying to God not to take me yet. 😭😭😭😭😭 I wanna see my kids and grandbabies grow up. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I prayed like I had never prayed before. The doctor's wouldn't answer me. Woke up in recovery like 32 hours later. Cuz I had to have it twice in 24 hours. They kept me sedated. Took months to recover, but I swear, I have always had a prayer army behind me and an army of angels on the otherside. 😇😇💫💫🕊🕊Then after recovering from that, I had put off having a mammogram and my doctor pressured me into getting one. Well I ended up with 7-8 in a week. I had two masses, one in each breast. So now I have to have 2 biopsies. They came back non-cancerous, but had to come out. The pain in your nipples from that surgery is awful! Like a hot knife thru the end of your book. 😭😭😭So I get through that. Actually come back a little.So this is where I stopped working. I was always sick with something and now my back is rapidly going. I will be in a wheelchair one day the doctor's say. But I'm still upright. Barely. Then in 2020 I got "Covid" in January, IN March we went into lockdown. The pain in my back is so bad at this point, they convinced me to get a morphine pain pump installed in my back. Warning, I will be showing graphic pictures of this surgery. I had 3 surgeries over the next 6 months. 1 to put it in, 2 to put it in deeper, cuz my body rejected it! God rejected it! 🙏🙏🙏 for the month and a half it stayed in, it was the best pain relief with the least side effects I had ever had. And the 3 to take it out, cuz it wouldn't stay in. Anyway, here are the photos from the aftermath of those surgeries.
