This will be my second to last update prior to my triple bypass scheduled for February 21st.

I had an appointment with my primary Physician this morning and boy did I get a surprise.
My primary was reading the report on the Heart Catheterization from December as I sat and he proceeded to read out loud and low and behold, all three arteries that are being operated on are fully 100% blocked, including the Widow Maker artery.. I asked how that could be?
He explained that the body will sometimes create its own limited bypass around the blockage. I think I can officially state that I am a walking miracle. It kind of explains why I have chest pains doing most activities.
I am listing the GoFundMe link as I have two weeks to try and get my April and possibly May bills paid in advance so that I can focus entirely on my recovery and therapy. I will be talking to a social worker as I'm realizing that my chronic back pain that 4 surgeries have failed to correct will heavily impact my phys. therapy, especially early on as I have pretty severely atrophied back and stomach muscles that will make things harder.
I really want to express my overwhelming gratitude for everything you all have done to help me, emotionally, spiritually and financially. I can't say it any other way, your help has saved my life as you have relieved all but one stressor. Learning what I did today convinces me of that even more.
Please help with your prayers, healing energy, kind wishes or donations if you can. All of what you give is welcome.
I ask these things with love and hope, and please be assured that my gratitude is flowing endlessly due to your help.
From a man who dealt with severe adversity for years,
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
- Winston Churchill
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has donated and offered their support and kind words. I can’t adequately express how much they mean to me.
Thank you thank you thank you!
