:-( First Set back....

by The Squirrell 19. July 2009 21:24

I have had my first set back!

Got a fluid build up around my new heart. Making me breathless, chest pains, woosy, etc. The fluid is pushing against my right ventrical. (5cm pocket?) and making heart work hard to pump blood out. It's trying hard (bless it!) but it's under pressure.

Going into to QEH for tests and to see what can be done?

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.
