My world came crashing down on May 14 2024. My day started off great as it was my day off. Around 1:30 pm I had tightness in my chest. Next thing I know I’m on the floor at home. My husband call 911.
After that it’s fleeting moments.
The ambulance ride, the hospital personnel removing my clothes quickly. Removing my jewelry and fighting to get my necklace to release. That was the last thing I remember till I woke up in ICU four days later. I had had a major heart attack. Died on the table as I was told later. But as I came around I couldn’t feel my right leg and foot from the knee down.
I woke up from the heart attack but found I have neuropathy in my right leg. It has been a long road of pain in my foot that never goes away. Many different doctors and so many test and still don’t feel my foot. Yet, the pain continues. I can’t drive, I can’t work as my job you are on your feet all day. I can’t be on my feet for long periods of time as the pain gets worse. I can’t sit in a chair with my feet down for long periods. Needing to prop up my foot won’t work at my job. My household bills have piled up. My social security is less than $1000 a month. That does not go far. Mine and my husband’s social security is not enough.
Trying to keep up on property taxes, electric, gas, homeowners insurance, credit cards that have all been cancelled. Medications co pays have gone way up. It’s like taking one step forward and knocked back five paces. For the last couple of months I have had such fear as the power and or gas will be shut off. I’m constantly watching the street when I hear vehicles go by. Looking to see if they are turning me off. I have so much stress. I don’t sleep well at night. I just wish I could get my life back. I know it will never be the same. I never in my life thought I would be asking, begging for financial help from strangers. I have always been the one helping others. I’m not use to being the one asking for help. Anything that you can give I would be ever so grateful.
