I would like to take the timeout to bring awareness to a condition that is call the silent killer. Aortic Rupture, Aortic Dissection, and Aortic Aneurysm kill up to 80% of their victims without warning and are often misdiagnosed as heart conditions; while both require immediate emergency medical attention, the protocol used to treat a heart condition can kill someone with an Aortic emergency. These emergencies don’t discriminate based on age, ethnicity or sex and can happen to anyone - AT ANY TIME!!
Just 3 years ago, a week after having my wonderful son. I was pumping breast milk for my son and as I went to stand up, it felt as if some one shook my heart. As I went to wake the father of my son up, I had a feeling that if I moved or even breathe to hard that it would be the end of me. My hubby didn't like the look on my face, he called my parents and my mom said call 911. Now, I'm not the one that likes to go to the hospital, I will just lay down or take a nap, but not this time. Once at the hospital that could not determine what was wrong, but they could see I was in a lot of pain. The pain was a deep back pain in the middle of my back.
Thank God the Doctor I had would not give up. I went for a MRI scan and there it was.... I was diagnosed with a Descending Dissection Aortic.
My December right before Christmas was spent in ICU for a week away from my family, but I thank God for his many blessings. Yes, I did make it home 3 days before Christmas. This has change my life and my family life in such a big way, but I'm so thankful. The Doctor, stated if I had waited the out come would not have been good and I would not be here today.
