Went Years With Bad Heart. Transplant in the future

keepingitbig · Saturday at 10:18 AM

I've been on this forum for years ever since 2010, however despite being healthy and active the gene of enlarge heart got me. Now I'm sitting in Charleston Heart hospital either waiting for transplant or not. I've worked tons of hours for the last few years, sometimes 60 to 70, but that wasn't the issue at all. The issue is due to my family line, I developed heart failure. Seen the first sign in 2023 when I couldn't breathe right with my mask. In Jan I notice I couldn't move as fast as I should. In Aug I developed fluid in the lungs and went into ER. Said I have heart failure and if I didn't come here in Charlestown I'd be a goner. I'm looking for support from friends I knew in the past due to depression I'm now in, it snuck back on me. Just to think b4 August I was living good off life, had goals, plans to move forward and now I'm dependent on staff for mobility. In the past I never needed help! I built my first PC on my own, put in my own networks, very motivated, learned everything on the job as a manager on my own too. Sucks how life is. Pray for me.

Ty. Aug really hit me like a ton of bricks. I never needed meds in my life! Always worked out even on the job. Yes I have my fried chicken and macaroni with sweet tea becuz I'm in the south, lol. But never like this. Wish I caught early, but even if I did, it would've progressed further as the docs said.

Believe me brother, you are going to overcome this and come out stronger than before. Don't be depress, things will get better.

Ty very much. Felt like nobody cared becuz I use to brush people off that I'm ok. They took me off the swan today and now I can move around like semi normal. Yesterday we walked around and seen the Charleston view it was nice with all the boats and water around. I masked for many years by working more at the job as a manager and at the end of the day would lock myself in my room daily eating fast food, air fried chicken and Milo's sweet tea. 70 percent of my diet was healthy though! I just love those cheat days lol. Never told anybody about the bad cough or cold feet, or feeling freezy when it was warm or hot a sign of heart failure.

Ty you all. I alaways believed in God and changed my life despite things of the past the last two years. One guy thought I was dead already when I notified of my position. At the end of the day it shows who ur true friends are
