Power of Prayer

NOV 14,2024


When I had my first heart attack 2015, was pumping about 50%, most people are about 50-70 blood flow. In Aug 2021, I remember being at work and my legs went numb then they ran test and said I had congestive heart failure, running at 25%. Regular stint doctor said...your going die (no bedside manner).Need see pacemaker doctor and heart transplant doctor. I was shocked. Seen pacemaker doctor next, he had 2 comic pictures, die peacefully heart stops, do nothing, or die painfully, pacemaker keep you alive when heart stalls, but organs will die prematurely with low flow, hince painful dragged out death. You don't increase, heart dies it don't get better. Heart transplant doctor basically said same thing, except he laughed you will never work electrician with pacemaker, what are you going do ..carpenter. I remember saying on one of my visits that God gave me a brain to, I would learn to work around things


I got pacemaker, installed, and went back to work. I started my website, mostly for me to focus on praising God for the blessings in my life. Went thru worse spiritual battles in my life, but focused on praising God. I failed over and over again. Next test in 2022, my heart improved to 30-35, right at threshold not needing pacemaker. Transplant doctor was surprised, kept asking what did you do. Fast forward thru many more struggles to today. Results came back unofficial (no doctor consult). I improved to 53-55 percent. Three doctors counted me out, but God said not yet. I still have other issues, but give God praise for bringing me thru.


August 2021. Not good, need see Heart Transplant doctor.


November 2024. Stronger than before.


Thank you God for that grace to walk through this time in my life.
