And there was much rejoicing…..

In my last entry I had just received the call notifying me that a match had been found for my needed heart. Well, suffice to say, things went well and I am now the recipient of the greatest gift. A second chance.. The surgeries went off like clock work and I was placed in a state of sedation for some 14 days to keep me safe from myself. My family made trip after trip to see me awake but most of them still did not get to.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and well wishes. It is thru your strength and support that any of this is possible.

I especially want to thank my family members for the support they provided my wife and the great attitude that carried them all thru this.


Finally, I would like to thank the donor, whomever you are. None of this happens if that person does not live in charity and as a registered donor. I have truly been blessed with a miracle.


Be good to each other,
JJ

  1. I got tears in my eyes when I noticed that your profile said "POST-transplant". Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow!
