I had an open heart surgery on May 18th 2006(a heart valve replacement which lasted over 12 hours) within 2 weeks i gained 50 pounds and my vital organs began shutting down and then on June 13th 2006 I had a 2nd heart surgery, the doctors told my family I would not survive the night. 3 weeks later I went home. I spent over 2 months in the hospital. 6 months later I had a stroke. I am 42 years old.
