I have been chronically ill most of my life this wasn’t the first time being in the ICU but by far this time was the scariest. I finally got my health together and lost 150lbs. On Jan 17, 2024 after years of saving, I had an extended tummy tuck and breast reduction and lift. For the first 10 days everything was fine. I was healing normally.

On December 10 2023, I started feeling a little short of breath and very tired and weak. Since I also have congestive heart failure, I was monitoring these symptoms closely. Things worsened over the next couple of days until the 12th on which date I realized I could barely breathe and so weak I could barely make it to the phone to call for an ambulance.
