2 Year Anniversary

It’s been 2 years now since I got sick. For reasons nobody can explain the Mitral valve in my heart failed – I spent 2 months in the ICU and 5 months in the hospital in total.  For some reason this year’s anniversary has been incredibly difficult emotionally.

I’m still pretty fucked up – my kidneys are working at about 50% of normal yielding a Creatinine level of 2.0-2.2. I struggle every day with pain in my feet, sometimes so bad I struggle to walk and I’m still taking Percocet nearly every day to deal with it.

I can’t believe recovery is still such a major part of my life. When this happened Doctors warned that recovery would take a long time but this now seems endless.


 Here are a series of photos the tell some of the story
