Merry Xmas followers !

 

As 2015 winds up, we celebrate...

 

Not really the over commercialism of the period! But

the fact we are all together, healthy (ish!) and embracing

the love and laughter that 2015 bought to us all...

 

Bring on 2016 !...

 

;)

As winter creeps closer, we hunker down !

 

Health seems ok at present, due for an MOT

soon, so anxiety builds as it approaches, with

ever more hope of good news after the test are done.

 

Lifes adventures keep coming, and we embrace them all !

 

 

And Sam turns 4 !!.....

Happily the health remains stable...

 

Weight coming off a bit, trying to eat less,

exercise more, as I find the pills make me more

hungry and prone to "binges"!

 

:(

 

Still keeping the "Carpe Diem" attitude though!

As 2015 ebbs to a close, and autumn

draws in, I thank all around for the love

the ongoing monitoring and med's juggling to keep

me as sane as possible !

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....

 

Matt.
