Dan's Story

Thank you so much for posting this. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am glad to see you mention the lack of health care that may well be the reason your husband died when he did. Not to politicize his death, but this is exactly why as a civilized nation we should have  heath care for all.

(((Hugs & tears))) Patty thank you for sharing this.  I too am so afraid of racking up bills for my husband and then dieing and leaving all of it for him to deal with, I just can't do it.

I will be 3 years out Dec 23 this year.  I lost 230 pounds but I do still have 3rd stage heart disease.  I was Stinted last Feb and just had a mild heart attack last week Sept this year with minimal heart muscle damage thank God. 

With that said, if it werent for having the DS I would already be dead.  Dan got to enjoy some of his life and food without quilt.  God Bless you for sharing his story and for you just being there for him and all of us.  I fight everyday with spinal issues and I look like a leaper with all the plavix bruises but I am alive and I look HOT lol. 

I do not get on her much for I am busy I like to move as much as possible and I thank God I will never be diabetic for that would end all for me.  I needed inspiration today and I believe something bigger than you and I sent me here to read your post. 

Thank you and God Bless
