my story began when I went to urgent care thinking I was having episodes of panic attacks, turns out I suffered a heart attack, went to Saratoga hospital was told it was a 99% blockage in the widow maker I had 1% of life left, I was rushed to Albany med with a balloon they put in temporarily.
December 7th I had my open heart surgery.
The double bypass was successful thanks to a hefty medical team.
I went to cardiothuracic ICU and started my painful healing process
The surgeons, nurses and aides were my true saviors
My fiancé was my main caregiver after I came home.
He's my hero, always encouraged me, helped me and was there for me not only physically but emotionally!!
My family & friends helped me through this hard time, especially my children whom I love dearly along with my sister
i'm sharing the story to raise awareness, and to listen to your body when something doesn't feel right!!! I'm glad I did and I hope my story helps someone else!!
