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.

206 days and counting.....
78 days have elapsed since my last post. My total days as a 1A is approximately 206. How long is that? Long enough that some people who started this journey well after me have been transplanted before me. Worrying about when it is going to happen is totally not productive but at some point it doesn't seem or feel real. I had a clinic appointment a few weeks ago and things are just fine. My father is home from the hospital and well into cardiac rehab. It is exciting to see how much he has recovered since I saw him. He sounds stronger than he has in nearly 9 months and is back to his normal self. I am anxious to get back to my life....running, swimming, and do the things that I enjoy. It is hard as time goes on the maintain the edge, the feeling that you are as ready as possible. I feel like I have trained for a race and I don't know when the race day actually is. Hopefully my next post will be on the other side of things....I will be recovering and ready to start my life. I continue to see eagles and they give me hope for the next phase...........
