My name is Greg, On October 24,2009 I had my first massive heart attack called the widowmaker. I had a 100% blockage in my left assending aurtery. I coded and doctors had to do cpr and shock me 7 times to bring me back.I woke up on life support and everything else they could hook to me . The doctors told me that they had lost me for 10 minutes  and that i was lucky to be alive. I'm not lucky but blessed.doctors told me that i would be in the hospital from 2 weeks to 2 months. I was determand to get out because in just five days after my heart attack ,my father was having his voicebox removed to to cancer.I worked at everything they told me to do very hard and in 4 days  I was well enough to leave the hospital.I was there for his surgery. After beating the cancer,my father then passed in march of 2011,From bleeding out around his heart.Then at the end of October 2011 I became ill.Being stubern I didn't go to the doctor thinking it will pass.By the time thanksgiving came I was so sick that my family told me that i looked like walking death. I could not breath and I had gone from 243 lbs to 216lbs without trying. I was taken to the emergency room and admitted to the hospital. I was so sick that I don't remember the most of being there.After 8 days they told me I had pnuemonia and sent me home with 6 antibiotics and told me to go see my family doctor. The hospital really had no idea what was wrong with me. I felt like they just sent me home to die. After 2 days at home I had gotten even sicker. I couldn't eat drink or sleep. So on the third day my family took me to a bigger hospital to get help. As they wheeled me into the hospital i was so weak I couldn't even hold up my head. With an ER waiting room packed full as we went up to the desk. the nurses took me back into the ER room without waiting. I was that sick. I felt so bad I just felt like dieing.For * days a doctor named Dr.Nara worked night and day to figure out what was wrong with me .On my first day there they found that I had many, many holes in the top part of my lungs, to many to count, and one huge hole in the bottom of my left lung. On about the 5th day they took me into the operating room andsucked out 30cc of puss out of my left lung.They told me that the holes would never heal and they were going to have to take out the bottom half of my left lung. I went through many mri's and x-rays while in there. Finally on the ninth day Dr.Nara found that I had 2 kinds of fungle Pnuemonia. I have taken a very expensive medicine for over a year. With no insurance . The holes have healed but have left my lungs damaged.On top of all this,I am diabetic and have to take 4 insulin shots a day. Doctors told us to go home and get rid of our carpet. My brother and son did so. When they did they found all kind of rott and damage to my home.With no insurance I have no way to repair my home. I have been unable to work since I got sick. Then on October 10,2012 I had another Massive heart attack. Another Widow maker. I coded and they lost me this time for about 8 to 10 min. again. They shocked me and all that again to bring me back.Once again I woke up on life support and all. Statistics show that only 6 out of 500 people servive the widowmaker.I have had it twice and servived now what are those statistics? I am very blessed. But still un able to work. I have filed for disability about a year and a half ago.I am still fighting to get it. My wife,son,daughter,and I are living with my mother and have been since I came home from the hospital with the Fungile pnuemonia. We are wanting to get back to our own home and get our lives back. Although my wife works, she gets very few hours and thats just about enough to buy gas for her to get to work and buy a few personal need items. We even sold our family car just so we could try to make it a few weeks. We are all 4 trying to fit 4 of us in an older single cab truck to get around. Most times one of us has to stay home or ride in the back of the truck. So we feel that we will never be able to get back home. Our house has been totally gutted out.It needs to be repaired so we can go home. Any donation of any amount that someone may be able to help us with to get home would mean more than anyone could know. Thank you so much for taking the time to  read our story. Thank you so much for your donation. May god truely bless you.
