About Me (In My Own Words)
On January 25 2018, i went to the emergeny room with chest pain and extreme dizziness. I was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm with a dissection of my aortic artery from my valve to my upper right thigh and into both carotid arteries. The surgeon gave me about a 10% chance of surviving. After a 7 day stay cvicu and a 10 day stay at rehab. I am walking and talking, but still have 12 weeks of cardio rehab to go. I thank god for everyone from the ER doc to my surgical team for saving my life.
