    Snow, my mom worked in a Cath lab. She helped put in stents and many people live along time with proper care. My 83 year old Dad and my Aunt have pace makers. They are going strong. You feel fragile right now, but we are all rooting for you. I'm sending you love and prayers along with everyone.💝

      Snow what a scary experience omgoodness 😢 I too had heart failure and kidney failure in 2018 - was in and out if hospital 8 times between 2028'2019. Same problem you had..lungs filled with fluid couldn't breathe what a scary feeling, waiting for the ambulance to come felt like an eternity ( it wasn't really ) but I grabbed the oxygen and shoved it in my nose while they put the tube in my veins..once I was breathing again I settled down...but I could have kissed the floor those paramedics walked on they were the best..this happened 8 times ! As it turned out I didn't need any stents after all and I was diagnosed with TAKOTSUBO This condition triggers sudden weakening of the heart muscle( cardiomypathy) and is also known as ' broken heart syndrome'.
      After my 8th time in hospital ( the last time,) I was packing to go home and very clearly I heard a gentle voice saying " Take communion daily"! I stopped dead in my tracks thinking I was hearing things but that gentle voice whispered again " Take communion daily"..ir was not an audible voice, but more an "inner voice" - when my husband came to take me home I mentioned it to him and ever since that day, 8th December 2019, we have taken communion daily and pleased to report My cardiologist and kidney specialist say they don't know what I did to get these good results but keep doing what your doing we don't need to see you any more! I tell you this as a testament of obedience to the voice of God and to give Him all the glory! I'm not sure if your a believer, but I share this with you hoping it will encourage you..I'm now 77 and I was 72 when this happened.
      God is our healer God bless you praying for you both from Perth Western Australia ❤

    I am deeply moved by the situation you are going through. Many times we lose the dimension of the relationship that is generated between you and those of us who follow you daily in this incredible adventure, but I assure you that I feel you are part of my family. For this reason, I feel the need to be able to help you in any way you need. I am Argentine, a tour guide living in Buenos Aires, we have the same age, we share the same passion, and I am at your disposal to run away right now, even if it is simply to give you a hug, have a loving support and accompany you to overcome this moment. With all my love, for all your love.

    Oh my goodness. All of my love and wishes for feeling better as soon as is possible. Today, a long life can be achieved even with heart problems. At the very least with the weight you took off, the increase in activity probably made a difference in how this turned out. If anyone has the courage and spirit to thrive in spite of, it is you Snow.

In case there's anything you might need at least I'm on the same time zone and country. I understand the scary situation as my father went through it a couple years ago.. with good care and medication you'll get throught it. Best of wishes and recovery 💛💛

    OMG Snow.......thank heavens you were in the city when this happened. I have congenital heart disease, so I can fully appreciate how frightening and worrying this is for you Snow. Surgeons these days can perform miracles on the heart and giving people a new lease of life. Four years ago at the age of 72, my brother in law underwent major heart surgery. He's much fitter now than he was in his 50s and now at the age of 76, he is forever going on trips away in his campervan. Sending virtual hugs from the UK and wishing Snow a very speedy recovery ❤

    Snow I'm praying for you. I know you are depressed. It's normal after such a shock. My mom had numerous stints and lived to almost 90. Curt I'm thinking of you and the kitties as well. Snow your message was an eye opener for me. I have bad knees and haven't exercised so now I'm overweight. You will be living your best life again in a few weeks. Your followers are not going anywhere so the only thing we expect is a short update occasionally. We love you.

I have faith that you will finish your trip. There is a reason this happed now, instead of the middle of a desert. Doctors will do their magic and you will continue your journey. Blessed be.

    Snow & Curt.
    As fellow Floridians and adventure travelers, we watch you and live vicariously through your travels.
    Ironically, my mom who lives with me and is 80 years old just had a heart attack 2 nights ago.
    I was there. Her attack was much more pronounced and though she had no heart issues, I knew as I called 911, that it was a heart attack.
    She’s in ICU still. Her surgery is Monday.
    Please know as I care for my mom, I’m thinking of you.
    Please remember, a lot of people feel 20 years younger after a heart attack.
    All the bad stuff that was slowing their heart gets cleaned up.
    Smile. Laugh. Be positive.
    You are much too strong a woman to not get over this hump and live long.

My best friend is 35 and has a pacemaker and it doesn’t stop her and I know it won’t stop you. All the weight you’ve lost is an added bonus for your heart and health. As Dory says, just keep swimming and take one thing at a time. Prayers and Best wishes to you and Kurt.

I just know you will be alright after a few more tests etc.hang in there let Curt take of you ,this is from a fellow Floridian that lives in Ft.White,you had mentioned one time you were raised in NFL so I think probably close to us.Take care of you and Curt and don’t give up on your dreams.I love you guys and due to health problems I can’t travel anymore so I live your travels through the videos.Pray you will be better soon and Curt hang in there.

    I am praying for your speedy recovery Snow. I know what you're going thru as my husband had a coronary heart attack at the age of 45. They call his type of heart attack the "widow maker", so you can only imagine. I was also told by the doctors that the younger you are, the harder it is to survive them. You survived and that was the real test. All else is manageable like the life-time of medications you will probably be put on. Stay strong and stay positive. "You Survived, young lady 😄. By the way, Argentina has excellent doctors. Their schooling and training is so much more superb then here in the states. Sending much love and prayers your way🙏

But the fact that Snow has lost all that weight and has been able to be treated in one of the most developed cities in Latin America is a confirmation that life wants you guys to continue your journey. I send love and strength from the Dominican Republic to both of you in this challenging phase. You are amazing people 🙏

You'll continue on, slower isn't bad, and you'll most definitely appreciate the rest of your life even more.

    Speaking very selfishly, Snow, I'm immensely relieved that your event happened at home and not on some mountaintop with no cell coverage. Count me among those sending you wishes for a full and swift recovery and gratitude to the fine professionals caring for you. When I was in my late 20s and pregnant I dealt with some monster chest pains. It turned out to be a dairy sensitivity (you eat lots of dairy during pregnancy) but I remember thinking it's not the ailment that gets you, but the FRIGHT. I hope everyone heeds your advice to treat their hearts like the precious and unique gifts they are. Much love to you.

    Time to take a time-out. Sometimes we need to make adjustments as we age. Our soul is young, but our bodies start to malfunction with time, specially if we don't have regular tune ups. It's never too late to take care of our bodies, feed it right, give it some recovery time and rest before attacking the next adventure. Our lives have stages, and we need to prepare and accept each stage with courage and dignity. Please,please, take care. I wish you all the best 💕

    I've been following since you entered Mexico years ago. You have made such an amazing transformation during the entire van life journey. The courage you've shown as you have addressed the knee replacement, and challenge of adjusting your eating habits to ensure a strong pre & post-op recovery. I'll continue to include you in my prayers for a strong & rapid return to health. (I'm also hopeful treating this condition will also have a positive impact, and lessen the severity of the migraine headache's you've encountered while on the road.)

    You were lucky, Snow! Heart attacks at this age are far more often fatal than at an older age. Of course Curt already told me that this happened to you (I hope he's passing on my best wishes 😁), but it's great to get a bit of a more detailed update from you. I've been thinking about you often in the last four weeks and whenever I do I take a minute to send good vibes. I'm incredibly relieved to see you more or less well in this video. A bit of wear and tear. 😉 You'll be alright and you'll quickly adapt to the new reality. Always remember! This is not your first crisis and you've weathered 100% of the ones that came before! All the best, darling! Give Curt a hug from me! 🙏🏽😎

    Snow, my father had his first heart attack at 46…I was 16! My dad ended up over the course of my life time having numerous bouts of kidney stones, his gallbladder removed, he had a benign brain tumor removed when I was 20, 2 knee replacements, AND he had 5 STENTS!!!!! He lived to ripe age of 85! He wasn’t super health conscious about his food, as he loved food. He stayed very active and ended up dying from advanced dementia….none of the other things. I know it is scary but you can still lead a normal, full life even with this diagnosis. If my dad can do it so can you! Speedy recovery! And always remember this is your journey…make it what you want.

    Snow, a year ago I had a heart attack and had a stent placed in my circumflex. Today I am healthier than I’ve ever been. I take blood thinner and blood pressure meds. I’ve lost 40 lbs in a year and I walk 3 miles a day. I remember crying when they told me I had a heart attack. Heart attacks are only supposed to happen to other people, I thought. But the incident and resulting treatment were a blessing and have moved me to a healthier life. You aren’t just going to be OK, you are going to be great.

    There is never a good time or place to have a medical issue, but thank Goodness you were in a large city with medical facilities that are able to help. And seeing you so concerned about her health makes us realize all over again how much love is in your relationship. Prayers for her continued improvement and good news of her condition.

    Snow, I can hear your breathing sounds short of breath in the beginning of video. Remember you will need to stay on low sodium diet and monitor weight frequently. A gain of just a couple pounds in a few days means your retaining water which could mean a decompensation. Hope you feel better, praying for health.

    I remember when my father-in-law had a heart attack at your age. He lived a full life afterwards for many more years, well into old age. You were fortunate to have that warning so you could get it taken care of. Modern medicine is truly a miracle.

  • @joannacurran8475
    @joannacurran8475 Год назад +1

    Take care. The stent is opening up the blocked vein/artery that caused the attack. Many people then go on to live a long normal life. The pacemaker has a completely differrent purpose - it is taking over or assisting the heart muscle damaged due to the lack of blood causing the heart attach. Once again people can live a normal life.

    I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this on its proper day so as to learn what happened and praying for you till it was released. I live with similar heart issues and as I said last Wednesday, with proper medication you can live a normal life. But going through this and getting use to the meds and settling into the reality of this is really an attention getter to say the least. You can do this Snow! I've been on this road for about a year and a half and though there is a huge learning curve, you both will be fine know how to handle this. Bless both your hearts, as I know Curt's heart was affected in a different ways over this frightening time. I think it's awesome that you are going to continue on with your travels!!❤️🙏

  • @queens6583
    @queens6583 Год назад +1

    Sorry to hear about your health issues. I have been a cardiac critical care nurse for 45 years, recently retired. The stent that was placed is actually in one of your coronary arteries not your ventricle. It sounds like you have thickening in your left ventricle causing cardiomyopathy which is the result of your left ventricle which pushes blood through your aorta working hard over time to do so. I'm sure they checked your blood work for elevated cardiac enzymes/troponins which are released when heart muscle is damaged as in a heart attack. My husband had a stent to a major coronary artery 18 yrs. ago and has done well with it, but it does mean changes to your life. No more sausages from street carts, as delicious as those darn things can be. Anyway, I'm glad your in a good medical facility and you will be fine to travel again. This is just a bump in the road. You've got this Snow!!!

    My husband is 57 years old and has CHF for 7 yrs now. He couldn’t breathe too the day we found out. He thought he had pneumonia.His heart has a whole large area swollen and stiff and doesn’t pump well. My husband now has a defibrillator and pace maker in his chest and his heart has stopped and started thankfully to the device. They call it an ICD. He is nauseous a lot and short of breath and tired some days. There are good days and bad days. Watch your salt intake and eat healthy and take walks. losing weight will make your ejection fracture better.Do not sit and do nothing,it is worse for you. you will adjust to your new life,I promise and you will live and appreciate things more and you will be happy. it’s just right now it’s new to you and you’re scared and that’s ok. It’s normal. There are so many people who live long lives with CHF. We went out three yrs ago and bought a road trek camper van and homeschool our daughter and travel. My husband wanted to see new places and enjoy traveling.Like I said some days you will be too tired to do a lot but other days you will be fine. Stay on your adventures and enjoy your time,just try not to dwell on your illness. God bless you.

    My husband and son has "heart failure." My husband reversed it through a low carb diet and he took supplements: combination of D-Ribose, CoQ10, B-Complex, and still on a few meds to control his blood pressure. My son is working on getting better. Just keep in mind that there is still hope, but a person must work hard on improving their diet and exercise for longevity. Prayers for you.

    Snow I am praying for your recovery. You don’t know me but you helped me so much with making my trip to Colombia. I was so scared until I found your video and it comforted me so much in making some major decisions. While I was there the doctor noted a heart issue that I was unaware of and I am now seeing a cardiologist in the US. I know you will get the best of care and your tribe will be praying for your recovery. We will be there ever step of the way. Just know that you have made a huge impact on my life. I love you and you are in my prayers.

    Hey snow, had about the same stuff going on. It started about 7 months ago. Started me on all these meds afterwards. I lost about sixty pounds which was inspired by you doing it for your knee. My stepmom was doing the knee replacement just a couple weeks behind you and you helped us a lot and answered some of my questions. I really appreciate you. We can handle this. What I didn’t finish saying is after getting working on my health I am already off all the meds. Don’t have to do the pacemaker as of right now. I plan on beating this and living the life I want and know you can too. I totally believe in you. All the luck dear!!!❤

    I had open heart surgery just before the Covid shutdown. God was and always is guiding me. The Dr's did a 5 bypass to save my life. I am healthy today and so grateful to be alive and enjoying my live.
    You will come thru this and continue on your journey. The Dr's can do miracles today.
    Love you both. L Wilson

But I am a lot older than you I'm 68 years old. That I went down hit the floor 2 years ago. I was so active. But I pray that God can heal you and he'll me. I believe in miracles. But I'll be praying for you. May God bless you and your husband.🙏

    Snow Remember Depression is expected after heart attack. Allow yourself to cry out loud so your heart doesn’t burden it all. I’ve been having my own heart issues at 56 yo and can only say you were in the right place for this heart attack. As a nurse want to let you know time is of the essence. I want to travel with Nick as you and Curt are doing. I’m anxious to do it before I can’t. Know the silver lining is you were doing what your hearts desire - you are living life. Exploring and living life in the present is something most cannot say they are doing so keep on living!

Snow, you and I are still on this earth for a reason, and you have so much more to see, experience,.and share with all of us. It will take some adjustments, time,.and energy to mentally overcome this moment, but with a doubt, YOU WILL BE PREVAIL. Much love and healing light for you and Kurt!!!

    Snow and Kurt this is not the end but the beginning of an even greater journey. I have been watching you for a while and I have seen how blessed you are. Health scares are never easy. I was almost killed in a vehicle accident in 2020 by a DUI which has left me with several physical sequelae. I could be angry, bitter, depressed, etc., but that accident also freed me to live each moment and not assume tomorrow is promised to me. It is about that time that I found your channel. Later the same year I invested in me an found greater freedom in becoming a weekend warrior in a class C. My prayer for both of you is to find your strength and continue to LIVE the life He has given you. Continue to be the blessing you are to others. He is NOT through with you yet or He would have taken you home. I know you can and will bounce back. We have seen you do it at least once. You got this together. I will keep you in my prayers.
