I am 42 and have had a heart transplant. This blog chronicles my journey before, when I had a Heartmate II LVAD for 40 months, and after my transplant. My transplant took place at Cedars Sinai in Hollywood, CA on July 4, 2014.

This is Insanity
So we took the plunge and started the Insanity workouts yesterday. So much for thinking I was in shape, lol. After the 25 minute fit test which left me on my hands and knees in a pool of my own sweat on our cold basement floor I realized this is INSANE! Today was day 2 and it was 40 minutes. I ache all over and am exhausted. But we are not quitting. So we will see what happens in 60 days:-) I will say that for me the best part of this is having my LVAD holster slinging over me like a cargo net or when I am sweating into my eyes I feel like a giant octopus is wrestling with me. But then I finish and ask myself how many other heart failure patients awaiting heart transplant are doing INSANITY:-) As my NCOs used to say in the Army, pain is weakness leaving the body. I must be pretty weak then:-)
