My name is Kelsey, and I run fuckyeahhope, or at least I used to before I stopped posting here. My personal blog is the-vashtanerada; some of you follow me on there.
If you could do me a favor, I would appreciate it. I was born with a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot, and I had open heart surgery when I was fifteen months old. I had a valve missing, and the doctors fixed the problem, but there is still no valve, so the blood that is supposed to be pumping to the rest of my body is going back into the bottom chamber of my heart. I am basically going into congestive heart failure.
My symptoms are getting progressively worse and I have been forced to quit college and stop working, because the strain is too much on my heart. I am getting denied insurance coverage by every company that I apply to because of my pre-existing conditions. I can no longer do simple, everyday tasks such as laundry or grocery shopping, because these “attacks” happen more severely and more frequently when I am active. However, they also happen when I am at rest; sitting in a chair or lying in bed. I feel as if I will pass out, and sometimes I do black out for a few seconds, my heart sort of shakes and quivers and seems to skip beats and I cannot breathe without gasping for air. I have now been diagnosed with infundibular pulmonary stenosis, collapsed lungs, hypertension, and an enlarged right ventricle. It has been determined by my cardiologists that I do need open heart surgery in the very near future to continue to live. Now, I need an MRI to determine when I’ll need the surgery. I am currently on Toprol ER to help keep my symptoms under control.If you could read my story and pass it on, I would be incredibly grateful. The link is below. If you have questions, contact me on my personal blog (I also have an in-depth blog posted there, accessible on the sidebar of my Tumblr).
Thank you.
