“Your heart is working overtime. I give it four or five months tops.” Hearing words like that from a doctor is more than jarring, it’s nearly coma-inducing. A wave of emotion, regret, fear, and panic swells through the body and yet, on the outside, the lights are off. “Knock knock brain, are you there? We have to process this.” This is the true reality of Justin aka @TexasSRoundUp after receiving this diagnosis from his doctor.
