Paul Vienneau is back home and on the mend after a scary few weeks.
For the majority of his life, Vienneau has been dealing with internal bleeding after he was hit by a transport truck while cycling nearly three decades ago.
“For 29 years, I’ve been losing a little bit of blood every day, said Vienneau.
Recently, Vienneau had a significant bleed and ended up in the hospital. At first, doctors couldn’t figure out what to do.
“They said there’s nothing we can do, it’s inoperable, we’ll have to send you home and whenever you bleed again, which will probably be in a couple days, come back in for transfusions whenever you bleed,” said Vienneau.
Doctors were ultimately able to top the bleeding, but Vienneau required more than 20 units of blood to keep him alive.
“For whoever donated the blood, you’ve given me back more time in my life, time with my family and friends,” he said. “I am incredibly grateful and thankful.”
