Hello! My name is Jimmy and I’m new here to this heartsupport so I wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little about how I got here. I’m in my 50’s and about 4 years ago had a heart attack that left my heart in really bad shape. No one can really know why this happened but there is some speculation considering what I was going through at the time, which I will not get into here accept to say that I was suffering tremendously. In any case, now I have a implanted defibrillator/pacemaker and a lot of time on me hands while I attempt to reinvent myself at such a late age.
It has not been an easy road but I refuse to play the victim. Yes things happened to me but I caused a lot of my own misfortune so I’m just trying to make the best out of what time I have left and giving back to the community is part of that. I don’t know what I have to offer anyone any more, but I refuse to believe that I am still here for no reason. I believe I have to make something of it so I volunteered here starting off with the SWAT thing. As I said I’m just starting out in this community but being in here and seeing what people are doing, I can fit in well I think and I’m excited about where this journey will take me.
