Had I not face-planted on a beach, I’d be dead. 2/x
I would have not sought care for dizziness or chest pains on my own. I wouldn’t have been hospitalized for observation overnight, when the worst waves of the attack hit. 3/x

Honeycomb-like structure, a rare cause of myocardial ischaemia has multiple communicating channels divided by thin septa. Angiographically fuzzy & hazy appearance often without significant stenosis, they're best detected on high-resolution IVUS/OCT

When I graduated SCAD, I walked and moved home, I received an email that a class I took sophomore year wasnt factored into my GPA and now it was too low to graduate so I had to move back and take one class, but I wasn’t full time so I couldn’t live on campus so I signed
A year long lease which meant that as I was paying for school I couldn’t leave, went over 6months on my loan grace period and couldn’t afford to break my lease to get a better job
