Hi everyone,
As you might have heard already I got my chances with a new heart and the transplant took place in the afternoon of August 31st 2001.
I´m 9 days post transplant and I´m getting stronger little by little, day by day. I´m not going to lie and say that transplant is easy and immuno-supression therapy is a science in itself but so far so good . I was really in very poor shape before transplant but I guess someone decided it was about time a little luck came my way.
I will be in hospital for a long time but I´m hoping to be home again in late October or early November. The risk of rejection does not decrease significantly until 3 months post transplant. It´s that risk and the fact that we live 6 7 hours away from the transplant center which makes it impossible for us to go home. It´s really fine by me, really is. For the first time in my life I can actually see the value in staying in hospital for a long time . But please remind me in a few weeks that I said so when I´m about ready to hold a whine-and-cheese-party .
This is my first time online for a while. I think I will go back recovering again and I´ll be back again in a few weeks or so!
My best to all! And Thank You!
