I have a heart condition where my heart pretty thick and scarred up. While most people live a normal life with this, the people who don't need pretty serious medical interventions that don't always with. The new med they have for this condition just released but it's like 80k per month. So far I'm on shitty meds to help the load on my heart and I just got a defibrillator installed on my body.
Honestly, I could live with the heart stuff. I kinda know what's going on with it and what's likely to happen.
The shitty part is that I had a TIA last summer. No lasting damage but they found that I also had a silent stroke some time in the past. TIAs are usually warning shots. I believe the number is 1/3 of people have a stroke within a year of a TIA. I feel like I'm on that list.
They hadn't found the source of the TIA so all I can really do is try to live healthier. The fact that my aunt just had a stroke that has paralyzed her left side makes me even more afraid.
I'm supposed to be happy right now. I have a newborn at home. All I can think of is not being there for him growing up. Or being a burden on my family. I cry at night, apologizing to him
I hate this.
