Hard to believe story

Hello all. I am a single father of 2 children that have been fighting an illness that the Dr's cannot diagnose. Was hospitalized with Sepsis, colitis and covid and luckily the Sepsis was caught and treated before it became fatal. Ever since being hospitalized, have gone from walking 7 plus miles a day for work to not being able to breathe well and can't walk up steps or even my driveway without being out of breath. Cardiologist and pulmonolgist have put me through numerous tests and one day find nothing to the next visit, I am having an angiogram and being told I have 2 blockages at my heart of 70% and 50% Requested to have a stent put in but due to location of blockage, a stent could work its way loose since the artery is funnel shaped and could break loose and cause another blockage that could result in a heart attack or stroke. Medications aren't working and no true diagnosis can be determined if that is the real and only reason causing the issue. I have burned through all of my retirement and sold vehicles, farm equipment, among many other items. Short Term Disability ran out over a year ago and cannot get disability ongoing due to no definitive diagnosis. I am at a dead end and no relief in sight. I could go on and give more details and more in depth circumstances that just end in a dead end. I have a family to take care of and financially I am at my wits end. Would love to get back on my feet and in the future be able to help others who have tried to live right but have unexpected issues that change their life. Life has just become existing not living. Please help if possible and thank you in advance for anything you can do.
