hello everyone here on IA, i wanted to let ya'll know how im doing and show you what is possible if you fight for what you want, in my case i wanted to live...
its been about 3 months since i was shot through the heart and what i left out of my previous post about this my left lung, the bullet lodged into my chestplate. the lower corner of my heart mucles is dead. but my heart is working fine under these conditions.
i suffered everyday in February and March, with severe chest pains, insomnia, not being able to walk for 2 mintues not to mention not eating for 11 days and vomiting constantly.
at the beginning of April, i actually breathed fresh air and had sunshine on my face for the fist time in almost 8 weeks, by mid april i drove for the first time again and had my appetite back 100%.
im currently not working because as u can imagine, im still unable to really work my body without being winded and getting light headed. i take medication everyday for my heart and for blood pressure, my doctor says in about 6 months i will be "normal" again, because the bullet went through my left ventricle which is the main powerhouse of your heart and gets oxygen to your muscles, but since my heart is a muscle it can regenerate and grow strong again.
i have been faced with overwhelming odds and should be dead by all accounts doctors, surgeons, professionals on every level are yet to be able to tell me how i lived using 1 lung and bleeding out my heart everytime it pumped for almost 30 minutes. :gay:
but in all seriousness im doing amazing and want to put this all behind me, though it is quite a conversation starter when i lift up my shirt, its also a conversation ender leaving people in complete aww and speechless :eek: . anyway for those who know i just wanted to tell you this.
and for those of you going wtf? maybe these cane help you out...
