Hey everyone! I'm really sorry for the delay. I had been feeling pretty sick and about a month ago I ended up having a heart attack. I've been going through a flurry of medical appointments and testing. I'm ok. Very minimal damage done. It was just a surprise that apparently I had had a heart attack in 2015. When the hospital looked back at my record they saw my ECG from then and noted that there was an infarct and no one told me. So, I've had cardiac damage for ten years and I never knew it. No wonder I've been so exhausted!! In 2020 I had covid, the original with full blown hemolytic anemia and that is when the second cardiac damage situation happened. I ended up with a bunch of scarring in my heart, lungs, and kidneys as a result of the virus. And I have long covid as a result. That is what helped set me up for the third, and most recent, scenario. Prolonged stress led to my heart not getting enough oxygen and so it resulted in a type of heart attack that did not involve a clot. So I didn't have to have surgery or anything!
In addition to this, I've also been trying to get a new job to help supplement the income. I'm an "as needed" nurse for a factory. I'm pretty excited about it.
I'll still have a little time to do art. I'm not hanging up my hat. I'm on beta-blockers now and for the first time in many years I feel so much better! I hadn't realized how bad I had started feeling and just kept pushing through it. But now that I have the right medications I am feeling way more happy, motivated, and energetic!
Thank you so much for bearing with me!

Thank you! It’s been wild but I’m glad that all things considered not all that much damage was done. Especially given ten years with no knowledge of the first heart attack or treatment. So I count myself pretty lucky!!

Yeah, it’s been a wild wild ride. But like I said in another comment I’m just super glad that more damage wasn’t done. And that I’m feeling a lot better on the medications.

What a thing to learn about yourself! It's really good to hear that you got through all of this in spite of the medical ignorance. Hope the good feelings keep up, and that your new nursing job goes well!

Yes, I feel incredibly lucky that not more damage was done. Like... this was, I suppose, the best case scenario given the circumstances. Now I'll know what to look out for and be able to make some changes to help guarantee my future health! :) Thank you so much for your encouragement!
