About Me (In My Own Words)
In November 2011, i went to the ER with a really severe case of heart failure. I only went to the ER after urgent care facility insisted I go there, and I had a bad feeling i couldn't wait until my next doctors appointment the next week. At the time I had no idea i was in heart failure, just that I couldn't breath and felt really, really sick. I actually passed out in the ER, and when I woke up 3 days later to my family and friends surrounding me, i found out the details that I had my aortic valve replaced and had a heart infection called endocarditis. Noone knows how I got this, i'm not an IV drug user, and had no dental surgeries in over 2 years, so it's a mystery how i got it. Over the next week I had various doctors constantly telling me how lucky I was to be alive. It was quite an experience to go thru, one that I will never forget. I am only 33 years old as well.
