Please helps us as we try to help my parents make ends meet!
My Dad, Dave recently had a heart attack requiring triple bypass surgery with an aortic valve replacement. He has been in the hospital for over 2 weeks now with 1 night off at home. He had been discharged but was having vision problems that seem to be unrelated to the heart attack. He was seen by his optometrist and sent to see a specialist in Bedford who then ordered him to return to CMC for several tests.
The long amd the short of it is, it seems to be a condition called Temporal Arteritis which if left untreated could leave my Dad blind. He is to begin a 2 year treatment on Prednisone to correct this. We are hopeful but have no guarantees that he will get his normal vision back. He explains it as though he is walking through a dark tunnel with light around the outside. He can navigate his way walking but no way would he be able to drive like this.
During this time Dad will not be able to work as he is a delivery driver for Dominos Pizza and will not be able to drive at all. If the vision problem persists he will not be able to work at all. My Mom, Cindy recently graduated from Empire Beauty School and is currently taking a Makeup Designery course, so she really isn't working yet. With Dad out of work for almost indefinitely and all the hospital bills and regular monthly bills, they have no way of getting through this without help. Our help!
So please, give what you can and please share this so others can help. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless.
