Work on our health

Hello Thumbtack family. I have been off the net for a little bit because I've been recovering from being in the hospital twice in the last 2 months. I'm a disabled veteran who's going through some really tough times.

I ended up being diagnosed for my mental health bipolar and PTSD

Got on on the meds for that and started doing better and then basically went into afib last week

And found out that my left ventricle is not working and I have a mass on my heart

If any of us are praying people. I could use some thoughts and prayers as I'll probably go back in the hospital on Wednesday to find out what type of cardiac surgery I have to have

It's been a rough journey. Ask someone who's worked with his hands for 35 years I've been slowing down because of a back injury from 1995 could only work a few hours a day and now with the heart problem I get easily fatigued after minutes. I think I'm going to have to finally retire

But God is the master architect and I will trust in his plan

God bless each and everyone of you and warm regards

Your thumbtacker

Bret Douglas
