Topic: My story and where it is now..... - page 8. (Read 7237 times)

I'll not really have much update til I get the heart.

Unfortunately, once I get to the hospital in an hour or so I'll be there until the transplant. They are admitting me to speed up the process and place me on a higher priority. I'll be at status 2 instead of status 4. I will also have to get a heart pump put in as it's 1 of the qualifications to be moved up in status.

There is no timeline. On average 2-4 week wait but could be 1 hour or it could be 6 months. I'm stuck in the hospital until it happens. It feels kinda selfish honestly. Someone has to die in order for me to live. That's the reality of certain organ transplants.

The address is correct as well. The community donated roughly $400 to this point and it is very much appreciated. My wife will be making multiple trips this week and the extra money will help so much. We definitely thank you for the help because none of you had to send anything.

Thank you

I have read your story days ago and I'm out of words on what say. Just letting you know that i've included you in my prayers that you will overcome these trials in life which I'm very optimistic that you can as you are a strong person. Hope to see you soon after the transplant stronger than ever.

So the last part of your journey began. Dear yahoo62278, I wish you to try to relax, as much as you can in these moments, as there is nothing left you can do, other than pray. I am sure that many others, including forum users, are praying for you. In rest, you followed all the (correct) steps which brought you to this moment.

What I did not understand very well was the part about "home sweet home". I am not sure if you joked, calling the hospital as "home sweet home" (meaning that you will remain there until a new heart comes for you) or if you will actually return to your home sweet home after getting the catheter and wait from your home until the new heart arrives. I hope for the lattest, as you will have a much nicer time at home than inside a hospital...

And regarding the new heart, do you have any information regarding when it will arrive? Is there any estimation? Or it will be just pure luck, which could mean that you may receive it in a week but also after a year?

Other than that, I keep encouraging everybody to keep donating BTC to yahoo62278's address -- 1LiwxmZC1v3d5J7XeMT4c8FKpuJwV3QjqH -- which is also linked at his profile. Every small donation will help him a lot! I also PMed some friends for help and, I hope, at least some of them donated. And I am still trying to convince others. Let's hope for the best!

Get well soon @yahoo62278 and we hope everything walk smoothly with your condition, little advice reduce activity in front of the computer until health is completely recovered.

I hope you can update about your condition after checking in hospital, we here stand beside you and hope you can recovery your healthy back.

Thank you for the offer to help other users who might be facing a similar situation as you, as well as offering to help getting me some work. I unfortunately am no coder or anything. The donation addresses are just for those who wish to help out. Noone is forced.

Thank you

I have about 6 hours until I have to be at the hospital. Heart catheter a couple hours later. They always want you to arrive 2 hours early. After that it'll be home sweet home til a heart comes for me. I'll have my computer with me, so you guys will still see me online here and there.

Since Yahoo surgery is inevitable at the moment, we all wish Yahoo best of luck for his surgery and a healthy future. His services for this platform are huge and we pray for his quick recovery.

As I attempted to suggest earlier, I doubt that it would be possible to rule all aspects of various conditions that any of us have, including Yahoo, in terms of genetics, which kind of seem to suggest that there is nothing that we did or that we could have done to have had improved our situation, whether it is clean lifestyle in terms of eating, sleep and exercise or whether there might have been some things that doctors could have done in terms of detecting issue, medicines and or surgeries in order to nip the situation in the bud or to perhaps mitigate aspects of the problem getting worse.

I would think that with something like the heart, if possible, we would prefer to live with our original parts, even if there may well be some denigration of performance, and even if we might be suffering from less than 30% ejection fraction.. which can be quite detrimental to our lives and even cause us to not be able to do a lot of things that others can do.. and also that if our heart function (and ejection fraction) is so low, we may well be better served by making sure that we are more rigorous in following healthy living practices - even when any of us could have short periods of deviation from healthy living practices and those will likely not kill us but in the larger sense, we might be able to stave off deterioration in our condition.. or even possibly to improve some aspects of our condition (even if never really being able to get back to "normal") but some tradeoffs may well be preferable, such as keeping our original heart, if that is possible..

Yahoo had already described that his ability to keep his ejection fraction up to 30% was only for a limited time, and largely it is seeming that he is not even able to keep his ejection fraction above 20% on his own with whatever he is doing - so it becomes almost impossible to imagine being able to survive for very long when unable to keep or maintain left ventricle ejection fraction at those kinds of already hampered levels.

For majority it is because of unhealthy lifestyle. This case of Yahoo is different, it is genetic. He cannot do much about it other than following his doctors advice seriously.

One thing which I think is very obvious with humans is that we don't take things seriously until or unless we are in an undesired solution.  No matter how much we advocate that unhealthy eating habit is not good for health, people take it forgranted unless they are caught with some disease like diabetes, blood pressure or anyother related disease.
You can get diabetes even if you don't have obesity and you eat healthy, thanks to modern day depression.
Till 30 to 35 years, we are young and body can withstand food abuses but after that the body defense against such abuses weakens and we start getting diseases.
In case of Yahoo as you said its more important for him to get his surgery done and after his surgery he can focus on healthy diet to live a good life. As he said that he is not on drugs or take pills still he got this disease that very likely because of genetic issue.

I read you story just now. I'm not very emotional person, but for me sometimes is difficult to pick words. And now I'm thinking for some time what to write. Man, I have no idea how I would feel in your place. I read your story several times and it seems that you're not showing much emotions. I don't know, maybe it just doesn't reflects in your text. Or maybe after everything that you already went through, now you manage to accept all challenges that you get from life, as you simply have no other choice. You're seem to be very strong person.
I know story from my country where man, over 60 years old, he was checking his health on regular basis, but got hearth attack. He was in coma for more than 40 days. But after heart transplantation he can live completely normal life. Now he can excercise and even go to sauna.
Health is such important thing, but unfortunately with our busy lifes, we start to value it only after we lose it. I hope that everything will be fine for you. Stay strong!

Without getting overly political, many folks likely realize that diabetes (especially type 2) is largely a product of modern living that can either be prevented or brought down a lot by lifestyle changes - likely diet more than anything else, even though surely the other BIG two of getting decent sleep and adequate exercise can complement good dietary practices.

So yes, diet is really a BIG one when it comes to diabetes type 2 - but also a variety of other modern day metabolical conditions - and overwhelming majorities of folks are caught up in the various misinformation practices of the world - and surely it is possible that even Yahoo62278 may have had some of these negative effects upon himself and his actual condition too, even if it could also be that he might have still ended up suffering similar negative heart-related issues because there were likely genetic and/or predisposition components too... but various good dietary practices can help a lot of us, even if we might have some exacerbating negative genetic predispositions.

By the way, the healthy and young human body can tolerate a whole hell of a lot of abuse, so it is possible to eat badly and even have a lot of bad habits when we are younger and if we might have decent genetics, but as we get older we likely become less and less tolerant to abuses, yet we can still tolerate some levels of abuse even if we are not in good shape, such as eating bad foods or smoking and drinking and things like that, even if those kinds of behaviors are not good for us.

Clean eating may well start with attempting to go all natural and eliminating processed foods, so of course cutting out or reducing various kinds of processed foods will likely go a long way, so that would likely end up lowering sugars and lowering simple sugars that are in a lot of those foods.  A lot of process foods also have unnatural ingredients and chemicals, but also a variety of kinds of processed oils that our bodies cannot tolerate very well, and which cause unnecessary inflammation that can contribute towards making bad conditions worse.

There can shared opinions in regards to the benefits of eating natural, but surely, there can be disputes regarding cutting out meat and things like that - which I believe is bullshit propaganda.. so having natural diets that include meat and animal fats and eggs are likely good.. and the more natural fats in the meats are likely good including cooking foods with those, so the less controversial practices are cutting simple sugars and eating natural, and maybe it is good to leave it at that. 

Without teeth, yahoo might end up getting nutrition that might not be as preferred, even though I understand that Yahoo's more immediate concern is getting his surgery done - even though surely there could be some dietary aspects that will keep him stronger and more prepared for the surgery than others - so in that sense, there still likely needs to be concerns to make sure nutrients are decently good both in preparation for surgery and then during the recovery process, too.  I would imagine with a new heart that the best of scenarios would be a recovery period that is 3 months or so, and of course, with ongoing concerns to watch for rejection (so anti-rejection measures), and more realistic recovery would be longer than 3 months and sometimes ongoing addressing of issues for a year or so down the road.. getting past the first year is likely a kind of goalpost that medical professionals like to consider as good progress... and with several aspects of diet, rest and exercise - with diet being amongst the highest of importance, there is quite a bit of discretion that goes to the patient in terms of what s/he is choosing to put in his/her mouth - and of course, with the help of the family once out of the medical setting.  Within the medical setting, there sometimes can be quite a bit of strictness, but if you seem to know what you are doing (and you are not having what seem to be obvious complications that might come from dietary issues), doctors may well allow deviance from the standard dietary hospital protocols, too.

These days diseases are so common that they can caught anyone even if one is not on drugs. This Reminds me of my story in 2021, when accediently (or for my own good) I was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes as my Hba!c (sugar test that gives profile of your sugar level in body for last three months) was too high. Doctor told me that I had this disease with me for almost year or two but I didnt realized that since there were no symptoms. It turns out that its because of my unhealthy dietery pattern
Since then I am controlling my blood sugar with diet, no medicine. If anyone wanna know how to control sugar without using medicine he can PM me and I will guide him with ways I am adopting.


This is exactly what I tell others these days, get you blood sugar, Blood Pressure checked regularly along with other basic body tests. So disesases can be caught at very early stage.   


If you are good in providing digital services (like coding or any other thing like that) then I can help you getting started with some online freelancer platforms.

God Bless you with good health in 2023.

You can google and see a load of celebrities that They don't stop there though. Facelifts, nosejobs, chin tucks, breast implants, botox, and more. That's why they're referred to as pretty people I guess, but I'd rather not spend $250k to look fake as fuck.

Far as overall health, with my heart in the shape it is in I am not very active right now. All my body works fine, I just don't have the energy to be up and about. Lot's of resting until the surgery.

Thank you

There are lots of people wishing you well now, yahoo62278. I also don't want to miss conveying my sympathy for what you are experiencing right now. May all the prayers that have been conveyed come true, and may this new year be a good stepping stone for your recovery.

I don't expect your story to end here, I mean we really hope you keep going through all the health issues and have a longer and bigger story of healing. Happy new year to you, yahoo62278.

I heard or may be it's a saying that most of the celebrities (Hollywood) go for smile makeover which involves extraction of their teeth, teeth capped, edges the teeth all in a complete straight line, triangle at the base of the tooth and many more dental makeover. It's not a big deal. You will live long without it.

How is your health overall now?

Thank you

I went to the dentist for 1-2 teeth I was having an issue with and they recommended full extraction to avoid future issues. I really felt like I didn't have a choice. So, I said fuck it, let's get it done.

Thank you, I watched college football for nye. Fun day right?

Thank you

Thank you. Not a prayer person myself but I don't mind if others are and want to pray.

Thank you

Thank you and Happy New Year

We all hope that You will come back strong.

The new year is here and I wish you that this year brings you a lot of health and happiness with you. We wish that during this year 2023, you will live a healthier life and forget about that last painful year.

Life is filled with up and downs, happiness and sorrow and i believe now is the time for you to get all the happiness and healthiness in life.

Happy New year to you, Yahoo62278 !!

Hello yahoo62278! I don't really know you as I'm new here but from what I've read about you speaks volume of the kind of person you are and how you've affected lives positively on this forum. I know you're going through a difficult time right now but I want you to know that God has your back and the ugly situation in your life is just a bend and not an end. There's going to be light at the end of the tunnel, and you're going to pull through this. From the bottom of my heart, I pray that you have a smooth and successful surgical operation. We'll keep praying for you.

You also have to be optimistic, the doctor will try to do his best for your recovery. Do you believe in the power of prayer? We are here always praying for your safety.
You are not alone, forum members are always supporting you so you can get out of the operating room safely. God will hear the prayers of good people and will give healing to good people.

After reading your story, I was reminded of the story of my grandfather, whom I love very much.
This is almost the same as my grandfather's story in 2015 in July, my grandfather's disease was also heart failure and our situation at that time only had the lowest level of insurance, namely class 5 in the hospital, while the care my grandfather needed was level two and one, in the end, we just relied on the money in our savings and sold almost 80% of my family assets to save him, but in the end, we couldn't save him because the operating costs for my grandfather were not enough and the insurance didn't want to cover it because it was very expensive, 1 week after that my grandfather died.


Hopefully, you can be healthy and live your daily life like when you were young, may God always give you health and 2023 will be a bright year for you.
